Thank you so much for your generous donations. My students and I are very grateful for all the new toys and supplies you have given us. The 4 way tunnel was a great way for my students to crawl and develop their gross motor skills and improve strength. The bubble lawn mower was a great way for them to utilize their love of bubbles while getting the heavy work they need to help with self-regulation. This year has been especially tough, but your generosity has made it possible! Thank you so much for your generosity!”
Once again, thank you all so much for your generous contributions to my project. The supplies you have helped me give to my students have help them in ways you can't even imagine. They absolutely love all the sensory fidgets and balls. These small simple objects help they stay seated during morning meetings and circle time activities where they have to sit for prolonged periods of time. You can tell by how they purposefully reach for the toys that they genuinely enjoy them. The magnetic alphabet board has been a tremendous hit. Every single student I have loves the way the magnetic pieces jump up when the pen touches it! It has really helped them practice and learn how to hold pencils, crayons, and other writing utensils with a more functional grasp. As they develop more, I have no doubt that it will continue to help them learn about letter formation, directionality, and give them the tactile feeling of what letters look like with their finger tips. Thank you all once again for a making a difference!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lucy

Thank you so much for your generous donations. These supplies will be put to good use with my students. I thank you, and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts. All of you make our jobs a little easier with your support and encouragement! It is wonderful to see how many of you care.”
In our 8:1:2 classroom, the majority of our kiddos are diagnosed with autism. They have many sensory needs, which often end up with fidgety hands and feet. These sensory fidgets will be used to encourage their active focus and participation in learning tasks throughout the school day while their hands and feet can continue to be busy!
Many of my students are in the beginning stages of pre-writing and need to work on their fine motor skills. Therefore activities that introduce and encourage pencil use and letter formation in a fun manner, will be greatly beneficial in introducing more writing tasks.
