This organization supports focus, reduces frustration, and allows students to take pride in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe binders and folders will also help teachers and support staff monitor progress more effectively over time. By keeping work samples and notes in one place, we can better document growth, identify learning needs, and share clear evidence of progress with families and related service providers.

Because of your kindness, we received a variety of sensory and craft items that have made an incredible impact on our students' daily learning experience.\r\nThese materials have been so much more than just classroom supplies—they have been tools of engagement, creativity, emotional regulation, and learning. The sensory items you helped provide—such as textured tools, calming fidget toys, weighted lap pads, and sensory bins—have transformed the way many of our students interact with their environment. For students with sensory processing needs, these items have made a huge difference in helping them feel more comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.\r\nIn particular, I've noticed students who previously struggled with overstimulation or attention challenges now find it easier to self-regulate. The calming tools have helped reduce anxiety during transitions or busy parts of the day, and students are learning to identify and communicate their own needs more effectively. These are life skills they will carry far beyond the classroom.\r\nThe craft items—ranging from construction paper and paint to glue, scissors, beads, and other creative materials—have also opened new doors for learning. Our students light up during art projects and hands-on activities. These tools have allowed them to express themselves, work collaboratively, and build confidence. Even students who typically shy away from traditional academic tasks find joy and pride in their work when it involves creating something with their hands.\r\nArt and sensory play aren't just \"fun breaks\" in our day—they are essential components of how young minds grow and develop. These materials have supported our lessons across all subjects. We've used them in math to build models, in science to create experiments, in literacy to design storyboards, and in social-emotional learning to explore emotions and teamwork.\r\nYour donation has made a lasting impact not just on our classroom resources, but on our classroom culture. The environment is now more inclusive, engaging, and supportive for all learners. Students feel seen and valued, especially those who need alternative methods of expression or support. You've helped create a space where students can thrive both academically and emotionally.\r\nIt's difficult to fully express how grateful we are. Every time I see a student concentrating calmly with a sensory tool in hand, or proudly sharing a craft they've made, I think of you. Your support has brought more than just supplies—you've brought joy, dignity, and opportunity to our classroom.\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students and for investing in their futures. Your generosity is making a real, tangible difference each and every day.","fullyFundedDate":1742823941343,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-sensory-friendly-classroom/9134347/","projectTitle":"Creating a Sensory-Friendly Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Costa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5147598_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1527263363986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5147598"},{"teacherId":3613733,"projectId":9120018,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us provide materials to help our students have a memorable preschool moving on ceremony.
