Funded Oct 15, 2015Words can't accurately portray the benefits my students have gained from the chair ball and Bear Hug! First, the chair ball has given them the opportunity to bounce a little while they work. It is quite difficult for my students to sit for long periods of time. The ball allows them to move while they work and without distracting the other students in class. The Bear Hug is also a lifesaver! Some of my students have such a difficult time calming themselves long enough to focus on anything, when they slip the Bear Hug on, they are actually able to sit and read a book or participate in a lesson! They love the sensation of a continual "hug".
When my students first saw the goodies come out of the box, they squealed with delight! They couldn't wait to start using them! I truly wish you could understand their delight. Not only did you improve the opportunity for academic success for my students, your example let them know you care enough about them to give them that opportunity. Thank you kindly!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Moore
