It was a major moment for the class to see the items they had researched finally sitting in front of them, ready to be used.\r\n\r\nSince the supplies arrived, the students have taken an extremely active role in caring for the guinea pig's habitat. They even took it upon themselves to create a daily checklist to ensure her care is consistent and thorough. They are especially enjoying the responsibility of learning how to do laundry to keep her washable cage liners clean. Moving forward, the students will use these materials to maintain a healthy environment for Crackers while beginning a new project focused on tracking her diet and behavior.\r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1762828407099,"projectUrl":"project/hay-help-create-a-cozy-home-for-our-cla/9874500/","projectTitle":"Hay!

My special education students and I have already begun using the sitting pedal bike, sensory wall, and stand-up desk every day, and these tools have made an immediate difference in our classroom. One moment that stands out happened during a reading small-group session: a student who often struggles to stay focused was able to pedal quietly while working, allowing him to read for a full 15 minutes—something he had never done before. Meanwhile, our sensory wall has become an essential calm-down station where students can reset and return to learning with confidence. These resources have given my students new ways to regulate their bodies and minds, and because of your generosity, they are discovering what learning feels like when they are truly supported.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. Many of them rushed to explore the textures on the sensory wall or asked for a turn at the pedal bike, and even my most hesitant students couldn't wait to try the stand-up desk. Your kindness made them feel seen and valued. As we move forward, we'll be using these tools to support an upcoming self-advocacy and emotional-regulation project in which students will learn to recognize their needs and choose the tools that help them learn best. Thanks to you, they are not only gaining access to flexible seating and sensory support—they are gaining confidence, independence, and a sense of empowerment in the classroom. We are deeply grateful for your support.\r\nIn gratitude,\r\nMs. Rusch and The \"Vibe\" Team","fullyFundedDate":1758198944483,"projectUrl":"project/take-your-power-back/9700827/","projectTitle":"Take Your Power Back!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rusch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249894_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757447853135","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249894"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63652","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":228,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":83,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.3,"schoolId":63652,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Craig Montessori School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Craig Montessori School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/craig-montessori-school/63652"}
