When I first completed setting up the new resources in the movement/sensory room my students were so excited. They immediately started running from one item to another. There were many options to meet their sensory regulatory needs. One particular item they enjoyed were the sensory wall where they could touch the different material textures. It has really changed their lives because there is something for everyone's needs. As you know each student is unique and special in their own way, and we are so appreciative that you have helped change their lives.\r\n\r\nNot only has this project impacted our small group classrooms, but the project has also impacted our general education/inclusion students. Some of our students who struggle with focus and regulating their emotions have been mesmerized by some of the motion lamps that have been purchased and made available for wonderful donors like you, who have given from your hearts to support our students. Your generosity will be forever remembered.","fullyFundedDate":1746764584269,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-haven-a-calming-space-for-all-s/9129108/","projectTitle":"Sensory Haven: A Calming Space for All Students to Thrive!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Castleberry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9930706_orig.jpg?crop=1495,1495,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740703194669","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9930706"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48107","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":785,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.8,"schoolId":48107,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clarkdale Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clarkdale Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/cobb-county-school-district/clarkdale-elementary-school/48107"}
