The students were so excited to see what was in the boxes. They love the purple wobble chairs. This project has provided my students with a choice as to where they sit so they can do their best learning while they are working in a small group or doing guided reading stations. These seats have provided a way for students to reduce fidgeting and increase focus. These chairs are never empty.

These tools, like fidget tools, the comfy floor seats, and core engagement wobble stools are now integral to our daily routine for students who need a moment to regulate their emotions or sensory input. A specific wonderful moment occurred during a recent lesson. One student, who often gets overwhelmed by noise, was starting to get frustrated. Instead of escalating, they chose to go to the re-focus room where they immediately picked up fidget toys and sat on a comfy floor seat. Within minutes, they were calm, regulated, and ready to re-join the class, demonstrating their ability to use these tools for self-management and emotional regulation.\r\n When the students first saw the materials, their reactions were a mix of excitement and curiosity. Many of them immediately reached out to explore the different items. Their faces lit up with smiles, and there was an immediate sense of engagement as they started testing out the various items such as the fidget toys, comfy floor seats, and the wobble stools. It was clear that these new, appealing tools provided a much needed and personalized way for them to manage their unique sensory and emotional needs.\r\n As our generous donors have helped us establish this wonderful resource, the next step in our classroom project is to focus on independent choice and generalization. We are now working on a lesson where students will not only continue to use the re-focus room tools but will also learn to articulate why they are choosing a specific tool. The ultimate goal is to help them generalize these coping skills beyond the classroom, empowering them to identify and seek out regulation strategies in various environments at home and in the community. This will give them a powerful tool for lifelong independence.","fullyFundedDate":1755546126362,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-support-for-diverse-learners/9603863/","projectTitle":"Sensory Support for Diverse Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crosby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10180396"},{"teacherId":10159801,"projectId":9548749,"letterContent":"Our \"Labor of Warmth\" mission is full under way. We had 18 students sign up to create blankets and they are all excited to see what their creations will look like. When I see them in the hallways the students often express how excited they are to meet again.\r\n\r\nThe first day our club met they chose their partners and blankets. We went over our mission and who will benefit from the blankets. Many learned for the first time about the shelter and how they help others in their community. Needless to say, it was a teachable moment for them all.\r\n\r\nMany of the students are putting their cutting and teamwork skills into practice. They have paired themselves with a friend who is encouraging and working patiently along their side. Each one brings a different set of skills and they are learning how to communicate in order to complete the given task.\r\n\r\nWe would like to say thank you once again for your kindness and generosity. We couldn't have done this without your help and contributions.

The hanging file folders became both mailboxes and creative reading projects, giving students ownership of their own work. The highlighters have turned into our go-to tool for annotating text. We color code setting, plot, and characters together as we read. The easel pads, markers, and color pencils brought our \"Pizza Text Structure\" anchor charts to life and will soon support our lessons on central idea. Even the basic pencils have powered countless writing sessions, including our current essay about fire drill safety. Each supply has found a real purpose in our daily routines, helping students stay engaged and confident in their work.\r\n\r\n When students first saw the bins and brand new materials, the excitement was instant. They started asking to lead the next chart, organize the folders, and share color coded notes with pride. The energy shifted from \"What do I do next?\" to \"Can I show you what I made?\" Because of your generosity, learning feels more hands on and independent. You didn't just fund supplies, you helped us build habits that make learning stick.

Since then, we've incorporated the activity spots into our physical education warm-ups and fitness stations. Each spot features a different exercise — from cardio moves and calisthenics to jump rope and hula hoop tricks — giving students a variety of ways to improve strength, coordination, and endurance. They love rotating through the stations, mastering new skills, and even creating their own mini-circuits using their favorite exercises. It's been wonderful to see students encouraging each other and taking pride in their progress.\r\n\r\nIt was clear that these new materials had sparked a whole new level of enthusiasm for fitness and movement. Being a teacher of large group of students, we can not physically help every student all the time. These spots give them clear directions and pictures to help them complete the exercises.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we plan to use these activity spots to help students set personal fitness goals and track their improvements over time. We're also developing team challenges and fitness games that build on the activities each spot introduces.
