As a special education teacher working with students with moderate to severe autism, sensory resources are an important part of helping my students feel comfortable, stay engaged, and participate in classroom activities. These toys give my students different ways to explore, regulate their emotions, and meet their sensory needs throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nI am excited to continue incorporating these toys into our daily classroom routines and learning activities. Every student has different needs, and having a variety of sensory tools allows me to better support each child individually. Whether a student needs help staying focused, taking a calming break, or exploring different textures, these resources give us more opportunities to make our classroom a positive and supportive learning environment. Your generosity helps me provide my students with tools that encourage their growth, comfort, and success. Thank you for thinking of my students and investing in their learning. Your kindness truly makes a difference in our classroom!\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMs. Jadeyn","fullyFundedDate":1787416446628,"projectUrl":"project/paces-appreciates-you-/10490289/","projectTitle":"PACES Appreciates you !","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jadeyn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10594147"},{"teacherId":9548281,"projectId":10606649,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing our class with flashcards for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. My students were excited to see the new materials and especially happy that they each received their own set. Your generosity gives every student a resource to help them practice and build confidence in their math skills, we use the flashcards during math stations Monday through Thursday with students practicing individually or with a partner on Fridays students take a math factor assessment with the goal of improving, their previous scores in advancing to the next fact fluency level this weekly routine gives them regular opportunities to practice and see their progress. Our next step is to continue practicing and progressing through the different fact fluency levels until students reach mastery. These flashcards will support them along the way as they worked toward recalling facts accurately.

Because of you, my kindergarten and first grade students now have tools that meet them where they are, and the change in our classroom has been something to see.\r\n\r\nHow we're using the new resources:\r\n\r\nThe magnetic builders and blocks have become the center of our math and language work. Last week, a student who usually shuts down at the sight of a worksheet spent a full twenty minutes building a tall tower with a partner. Together they counted each piece, practiced taking turns, and communicated both in words and with communication devices to ask for different colored blocks. That one moment held counting, turn-taking, and requesting, three goals from their IEPs, and never felt like we were doing \"work.\"\r\n\r\nThe dramatic play props have given my students a safe way to practice the language they're still building. Our play dough tools are strengthening fine motor skills while students sort, count, and form letters. Wobble chairs, fidgets, and sensory bins have changed the feel of our mornings. A student who once needed to leave circle time can now stay with the group, because her body has what it needs to settle. These tools aren't a break from learning. They're what makes learning possible.\r\n\r\nWhat's next:\r\n\r\nWe're building on this momentum. Next, we're using the dramatic play props to retell stories we read together, so students who struggle in a read-aloud can show me everything they understand through play. We're also using fidgets to assist with addition and sorting, and the sensory bins are becoming part of our daily routine for building regulation skills. Each week, I'm seeing students stay longer, try more, and show me what they truly know.\r\n\r\nYour generosity gave my students the chance to be successful in a classroom instead of removed from one. Thank you for seeing them.","fullyFundedDate":1789706131471,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-squeeze-build-tools-and-toys/10457857/","projectTitle":"Wiggle, Squeeze, Build: Tools (and Toys!)

As part of their morning free time, they have been enjoying partner reading and independent reading of the different books. \r\n\r\nBetween the task cards and books, I have seen multiple students working together and supporting each other's learning.

It is great to see students willingly share the leaf chairs. \r\n\r\nA small step forward in this class has been that many students have earned the privilege of sharpening pencils for the whole class. This pencil sharpener is so durable and strong that it can withstand first-graders' unknown strengths.

Students were excited to dim the lights, use their flashlights, and immerse themselves in books, which made reading feel like a special activity rather than a routine task. This sense of novelty helped increase engagement, focus, and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThe snacks also played an important role. Having a small snack made reading time feel comforting and rewarding, reinforcing positive associations with literacy.\r\n\r\nTogether, these donations created an environment where students felt cared for, relaxed, and motivated.

It's the ability to read with a partner, share the excitement of the story, or ask for help with sounding out a word. Their understanding that there is more to a story than just pictures has truly grown in the new year. \r\n\r\nThe additional storage boxes have helped keep them organized and the classroom looking organized.
