My students gathered around to see what it was and couldn't wait to try it. For many of them, this chair represents more than just a new classroom item — it's a safe way to calm their bodies, regulate emotions, and refocus when they're feeling overwhelmed. The first few turns brought huge smiles, laughter, and a visible sense of relief from students who struggle with sensory and emotional regulation.\r\n\r\nSince adding the chair to our classroom, I've seen amazing changes. Students who used to pace, cry, or hide when upset now have a tool that helps them reset in a healthy way. The ability to take a short sensory break has reduced outbursts and increased engagement during lessons. It's become a part of our daily routine — students know they can use it responsibly when they need help calming their minds or refocusing their energy.\r\n\r\nThis project has created a calmer, happier classroom where all students feel supported and understood. Your generosity made it possible for my students to learn self-awareness and coping skills they'll carry with them far beyond the classroom walls. Thank you for believing in my students and helping me build a space that meets their unique needs.","fullyFundedDate":1758636638709,"projectUrl":"project/spinning-toward-success-sensory-support/9658299/","projectTitle":"Spinning Toward Success: Sensory Support for Second & Third Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hickey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8502545_orig.jpg?crop=813,813,x0,y119&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1655594996920","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrshickey5th"},{"teacherId":9176761,"projectId":9304589,"letterContent":"The switch from erasers to coins has been a total game changer!

We've moved past the initial confusion of 'Which coin is this?' to full mastery; they are now independently calculating exactly how to trade their pennies up for larger coins.\r\n\r\nWatching their financial skills develop through real practice is the highlight of my day.
