My students are now more engaged, focused, and excited about learning every day. The sensory table has become a favorite center for exploration and discovery.\r\n\r\nStudents who once struggled to stay engaged during center time now have a meaningful, hands-on outlet to explore textures, pour and scoop materials, and develop fine motor skills. It has especially helped my students with sensory needs regulate their emotions and find calm during transitions or busy moments in the day.\r\n\r\nThe table has also become a social hub — children collaborate, share tools, and use rich language as they describe what they feel and see. It has sparked curiosity, creativity, and even problem-solving skills as students experiment with different materials.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, the sensory table isn't just a classroom tool — it's a space for growth, calm, and connection. It's amazing to see how something so simple has made such a big difference in the way my students learn and interact every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757886420374,"projectUrl":"project/building-hands-on-stem-learning-with-a-s/9678568/","projectTitle":"Building Hands-On STEM Learning with a Sensory Table","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Prochno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9630708"},{"teacherId":2478183,"projectId":9679801,"letterContent":"My students were excited to see the new resources arrive. They immediately wanted to know if they were going to be using them and how! After explaining how we will utilize the boards in lessons, we started implementing them right away!\r\n When students are reviewing and/or learning trick words, they complete three steps. They count the sounds, put counters where the sounds go that make sense and hearts where they need to remember the trick parts, and finally write the letters for those sounds. The students have really enjoyed using the visual component of the boards. It is helping the students visualize the words!\r\n We will continue to use these in other ways too! As groups start to learn with affixes, then those parts of the word will also be mapped out.","fullyFundedDate":1758233480807,"projectUrl":"project/mapping-words-through-their-sounds/9679801/","projectTitle":"Mapping Words Through Their Sounds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tolliver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2478183_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y215&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756942246032","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tory-ortman"},{"teacherId":9376071,"projectId":9105112,"letterContent":"My students are using the flexible seating options as a way to comfortably work and get different wiggles out in an effective, yet content manner.

One day they will have tried all the types of flexible seating, as they are eager to get their seating type each day. The flexible seating has also taught them self control.
