In September I wrote a grant asking for several items for our sensory room. (See the September 19th post for more details. I asked for those things, and some HowdaHug chairs.) A very special first grade student who uses the sensory room for a ten-minute break every day also wrote a letter asking for the items. I put it with my request, and between the two of us, we got the grant! I felt like someone who wins a Publisher's Clearing House contest, as this huge check was presented...
I was teaching these Kindergarten students when the check was presented. You can tell they were as excited as I was!
Here is the very proud John Henry! I am so glad we got the grant, but also pleased that it was a real-life lesson in what writing can do for you! I ordered many of the items online last night, and am excited for them to arrive on Tuesday. We are looking forward to hanging rope lights and making the room extra fun and snazzy!
