The sensory items are available throughout the day for students who need help self-regulating, calming their bodies, or recharging so they can return to learning. One moment that stood out was watching a student independently choose a sensory tool during a challenging task and successfully complete their work with renewed focus and confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were excited and eager to explore how each item could help them learn. They immediately recognized the classroom as a safe, supportive space where their individual needs mattered. The practical supplies like sheet protectors and dry erase erasers were quickly incorporated into lessons, allowing students to practice skills without fear of making mistakes and encouraging collaboration during math and writing activities.\r\n\r\nThese resources continue to support our ongoing classroom goals, including hands-on learning, skill practice, and independence. Students are using dry erase activities to build fluency, problem-solve together, and take academic risks, while the sensory supports help them stay regulated and ready to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom environment where every learner feels supported, confident, and capable of success.","fullyFundedDate":1738173231421,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-focus-and-learning/9077273/","projectTitle":"Tools for Focus and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Steelman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5336419_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770746376798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5336419"},{"teacherId":4213422,"projectId":9929086,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has truly come alive with exploration and discovery.

In our sensory bins, students explore textures while practicing new vocabulary, sharing materials, and asking thoughtful questions about what they notice.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and contagious. Eyes widened, hands reached out, and questions poured in: \"What does this do?\" \"Can I try?\" \"Look what I made!\" The materials instantly invited curiosity and confidence, especially for students who learn best through hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, the next steps for our students include deeper exploration and guided STEM challenges. We are beginning simple science investigations using magnets and tools, encouraging children to make predictions, test ideas, and talk about their discoveries. These materials are also supporting social-emotional growth as students collaborate, take turns, and problem-solve together.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped create an inclusive, engaging environment where every child can explore confidently, think creatively, and build a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

My students are learning to count change back so that they are prepared for their experience in the initial workforce. It is a necessary skill that people need to know so that they ensure that they are correct in their cash drawer if they are the worker and correct in the change if they are the payee. \r\n\r\nMy students have been given multiple ways to not only count change, but to figure out purchasing scenarios. For example, they have a list of items to purchase from grocery store ads, a certain budget amount to serve a party for a given number of guests, and a camping scenario where they have to purchase items that they need for a weekend camping excursion. This puts the \"game\" or learning in their hands. They figure out the cost and the cashier figures the cost as well. Then, when they pay, they are given their change from the cashier and he/she must count the change back. My students love these activities and they do not consider this learning as it is fun. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity in helping my Math class.","fullyFundedDate":1744396348774,"projectUrl":"project/money-money-money-making-change/9246710/","projectTitle":"Money!
