While every item has been truly loved, the impact some of the items have made on my students' educational experience has been extremely positive! I apologize for this letter coming such a long time after your contribution.\r\nThe flexible seating that was purchased through this project helps my students, who previously had trouble sitting for longer than a minute at a time, find a way to get their sensory needs met while sitting and working/learning new academic skills. The bounce seats have been very beneficial in decreasing running/climbing/jumping behaviors in the classroom that are not only distracting for other students, but can also pose safety concerns.\r\nThe fish water lamp has been extraordinary at helping my students who need assistance with self-regulation to calm down and reach their baseline mood when they need it the most. As for the students who don't 'need' it, they still LOVE to watch the fish go up and down with the bubbles as the lights change.\r\nYour donations will forever be appreciated by them, myself, and our future students.\r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1715353717987,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-resources-for-autism-classroom/8331953/","projectTitle":"Sensory Resources for Autism Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9362965_orig.jpg?crop=1999,1999,x0,y179&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713373266013","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9362965"},{"teacherId":9512277,"projectId":9046755,"letterContent":"Since having this project funded our classroom has hosted two coffee cart mornings at our school!
