Many of my students have sensory processing needs that can make it difficult to focus, communicate, or participate in group activities. With these new tools, students are able to use calming or alerting sensory input to better manage their emotions and attention, which directly improves their ability to engage in learning tasks. For example, students are now able to take short, purposeful sensory breaks using these materials and then successfully return to instruction ready to participate.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting for students is the hands-on, interactive nature of the new sensory tools. They were immediately drawn to the materials and have shown increased motivation to use them appropriately within our daily routines. Several students, in particular, have really benefited—especially those who previously struggled with maintaining attention or managing frustration. I've seen students independently choose sensory supports, remain engaged for longer periods, and demonstrate fewer challenging behaviors. This project has not only supported their individual needs but has also helped create a more positive and productive classroom environment for everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1765208221563,"projectUrl":"project/were-in-our-feel-ings-a-sensory-space/9940935/","projectTitle":"We’re in Our Feel-ings: A Sensory Space for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Krantz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8416198_orig.jpg?crop=3395,3395,x0,y305&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649799111009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8416198"},{"teacherId":8416198,"projectId":9907793,"letterContent":"My students have been using these new resources every day as part of our communication and social interaction routines. With the addition of these materials, I've been able to create more structured, engaging lessons that support both language development and independence. One powerful moment that stands out was during a small group activity where students used their communication devices alongside the new supports to request items, comment, and respond to peers. For several of my students, this was the first time they independently initiated communication without prompting. It was a meaningful step forward in their ability to express themselves and connect with others.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate—there was so much curiosity and eagerness to explore. Many of them were highly motivated to engage, which allowed for more natural opportunities to build communication and functional skills. Moving forward, we are continuing to build on these successes by incorporating the resources into longer, more complex activities that focus on reciprocal conversation, choice-making, and real-life application. Our next steps include increasing independence, reducing prompting, and expanding communication across different settings so students can generalize these skills beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764700599118,"projectUrl":"project/were-specialin-all-the-best-ways/9907793/","projectTitle":"We’re Special—in All the Best Ways","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Krantz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8416198_orig.jpg?crop=3395,3395,x0,y305&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649799111009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8416198"},{"teacherId":8642280,"projectId":9658187,"letterContent":"My students and have really grateful for your amazing donation.
