Students moved through small-group academic activities throughout the school day. The calming area allows them to explore the materials hands-on—everything from experimenting with the new sensory fidgets to using our new canoe, rocker or peanut. One of my favorite moments came when a group of students used their new library furniture together. They were so excited to read together and be in such a cozy learning environment.\r\n\r\nTheir reactions when they first saw the materials were priceless. Several students gasped, a few cheered out loud, and more than one asked, \"Are these really for us?\" That excitement carried into the rest of the day—students who are usually hesitant were suddenly volunteering, participating, and taking academic risks because the new tools made the learning feel accessible and fun.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make these moments possible. You've added so much joy, curiosity, and confidence to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1759699233036,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-needs-for-the-as-classrooms-at-a/9729184/","projectTitle":"Sensory Needs for the AS Classrooms at AFES","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Haughey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10269361"},{"teacherId":8664379,"projectId":9294631,"letterContent":"The Superflex curriculum is a great kid friendly way to talk about social norms, emotions, and how your emotions impact the emotions and actions of those around you.

These keyboards will connect to their chromebooks and allow them to see the music coming across the screen as they are playing. It also will allow them to play around with different sounds and settings on the keyboards to begin to create their own beats and songs that they will perform later in the year. Everything is moving to technology so we need to change as well. Normal keyboards take up a lot of space, which we don't really have. The midi keyboards are much smaller which makes storing them and keeping them safe much easier.\r\n\r\nMusic technology is the reason we have the music we do. The students in my class may become a music producer in the future or create their own bands.
