My reddit gift-giver is an amazing person. He really understands what it takes to help children do their best. He went above and beyond on his giving, and I felt an impact within my class within the first day of using the material. Getting a redditgift allowed me to try some different things. The results are that the kids loved them. I wish everyone could stop in and see them happy and learning.

I received a book full of math board games that can be copied and reused. I also received 25 squishy balls that can be used in Kagan style activities, as well as 48 sparkly pens (perfect for story writing, editing and text markup). I also got a roll of stickers and a dry erase marker and eraser set. Finally, I received a $50 gift card to Amazon. That last one is extra special because I'm going to take some student input on what to get. Self-directed learning has twice the impact, and now I have the freedom to really do it!

It can be difficult to teach children in special education, you really have to go where they are and try a lot of different approaches. It takes a lot of material and money to make the hands on approach work. I just want to say thank you to my giver and to Redditgifts, now I have the things I need to get through to these children in an active and positive way! Thank you!
