I am just blown away by my gifter's kindness. Not only was he incredibly generous, but he also went to the effort of tracking down some extra keyboards and computer mice to replace some broken and damaged ones in my classroom. I can't believe he found ones in such pristine condition. They look brand new and are a thousand times better than what I have.

Having purchased them before on my own, I know the pens, batteries, and other supplies he purchased were not cheap. There were six packages total and it felt like Christmas morning. I teach special education and the sensory toys, fidgets, and stress balls will be a big help for the students who are ADHD and/or have trouble controlling their emotions and sensory input. I had a student who literally chewed his nails and cuticles until they bled. Having something else to do with his hands really helped.

My students will be thrilled with the prizes and incentives. And the noise putty...what can I say about Flarp. They just love it. Something about middle school kids and bodily noises. So to my gifter: I thank you, my family thanks you, my pocketbook thanks you, and most of all, my students thank you. You are a kind and wonderful soul. I can't wait to pass it on.
