My students were extremely excited when they first saw the new materials. They could not wait to explore, scoop, pour, measure, and create. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement as they worked together and discovered new ways to use the materials.\r\n\r\nThe sensory bins have provided much more than play. My students are developing fine motor skills, learning new vocabulary, practicing sharing and taking turns, and strengthening their problem-solving skills. One special moment was watching the students work together to fill containers and compare which ones held more or less. They were learning early math and science concepts while having fun.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using the sensory bins for hands-on lessons involving counting, measuring, sinking and floating, and exploring different textures. These materials have made learning more engaging and meaningful for my students. Thank you for supporting our classroom and giving my students such a wonderful opportunity to learn through exploration!","fullyFundedDate":1774963753983,"projectUrl":"project/touch-and-feel-through-sensory/10082295/","projectTitle":"Touch and Feel through Sensory","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ehinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4950946_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1515904667404","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-ehinger"},{"teacherId":10482400,"projectId":10205030,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest thanks for bringing this project to life. Now that our new workout equipment is unboxed and in regular rotation, our PE classes have reached a whole new level.\r\nMy goal every day is to teach my students how to care for their bodies and build a positive, lifelong relationship with fitness. This equipment has allowed me to create structured, small-group routines that scale to every ability level. Students who were once intimidated by traditional fitness tests are now thriving in circuit stations, learning proper lifting mechanics, core strength, balance, and flexibility.\r\nThese tools are giving my 4th through 8th graders an authentic taste of athletic conditioning in a safe, fun environment. The durability of this equipment means it will impact class after class for years to come.\r\nThank you for giving my students the resources they deserve to get stronger, build confidence, and discover what they're capable of!","fullyFundedDate":1779243935258,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-foundations-and-healthy/10205030/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Foundations and Healthy Habits","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10482400"},{"teacherId":10243246,"projectId":9686687,"letterContent":"Dear Campbell Foundation and Donors Choose,\r\n\r\nI want to sincerely thank you for your generosity in sponsoring my classroom request for Sensory and Educational Items in support of our Special Education classroom. Because of your kindness, my students now have access to meaningful learning materials that will make a real difference in their daily instruction.\r\nMany of my students require hands-on, individualized supports to help them build confidence and master new skills. The items you helped provide will not only support their academic growth, but also strengthen their independence, communication, and self-esteem. It is incredibly powerful for them to see that people beyond our classroom believe in their potential.\r\nYour generosity reminds us that we are not alone in this work. You are helping create an inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued, capable, and supported. I cannot fully express how grateful we are for your investment in our students' success.\r\nThank you again for making a direct and lasting impact on our classroom.

Because of your kindness, my Transitional Kindergarten students now have access to social-emotional learning materials that have made a meaningful and immediate impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThese hands-on items have helped my students better identify and express their feelings, practice calming strategies, and develop empathy and communication skills. At the TK level, social-emotional development is the foundation for all learning, and these materials allow students to engage in age-appropriate, play-based activities that support self-regulation, problem-solving, and positive peer interactions.\r\n\r\nI have already seen students using the materials to talk about their emotions, work through conflicts, and build confidence in expressing themselves. These tools have created a calmer, more connected classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and for believing in the importance of social-emotional learning at such a critical age.
