Each contribution adds flexibility to the space, ensuring it can be adapted to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Most importantly, your support sends a clear message of care, acceptance, and belonging—helping us build not just a sensory room, but a place of comfort, confidence, and connection.","fullyFundedDate":1763649078495,"projectUrl":"project/where-kindness-meets-connection/9847860/","projectTitle":"Where Kindness Meets Connection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hawxwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10294926"},{"teacherId":4025258,"projectId":9910722,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project!\r\n\r\nThe donated items for our sensory room have had a powerful and immediate impact on my students and our classroom community.

I have already seen students use the space to calm their bodies, practice self-regulation, and develop coping skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom. The weighted animals provided such a comfort for my students when they are dealing with big emotions. I have even see my older students leading conversations about emotions to my younger kiddos. \r\n\r\nThis project is about more than materials—it is about kindness. Every donated item sends a message to my students that they are valued, understood, and worthy of care.

The equipment supports a range of needs, including movement, deep pressure, and quiet regulation, which helps students identify what their bodies need in the moment. As a result, students are demonstrating improved self-awareness and are more prepared to rejoin their classrooms successfully.\r\n\r\nOverall, the ROW and RESET Project has strengthened our ability to support students' social-emotional and sensory needs in a proactive way.
