Your generous support is already making a meaningful difference in the lives of students with intellectual disabilities, autism, and emotional-behavioral disorders (EBD). The sensory tools—like the fidget toys, oral chewy necklaces, and noise-cancelling headphones—are helping students self-regulate and remain focused throughout the day and when on field trips outside of school. One of our non-verbal fourth graders, who absolutely loves music, has especially taken to the xylophone, using it as a joyful and expressive outlet. The dry erase boards have also become a daily go-to for interactive math practice. In fact, one EBD student will only complete math problems if they are written on the whiteboard, as they are triggered by paper-based assignments. \r\n\r\nThe biggest hit so far has been the snap circuits, which are used not only for hands-on learning but also as calming regulation breaks. Students in grades 3–6 gravitate toward this tool for both engagement and relaxation—especially those who are passionate about science. Your kindness has brought both excitement and peace into our learning space, and I truly believe it's helping these bright, capable students show the world what they can do. Thank you for believing in them and supporting their growth—you've made a lasting impact!","fullyFundedDate":1739455245331,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-every-learner-classroom-reso/9104985/","projectTitle":"Supporting Every Learner: Classroom Resources Needed for Special Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bird","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9919373_orig.jpg?crop=914,914,x0,y146&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739415036934","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9919373"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38108","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":335,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":54.5,"schoolId":38108,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McDill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McDill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/stevens-point-area-public-school-district/mcdill-academies/38108"}
