For example, during a literacy lesson, students searched through the sensory noodles to find hidden letter tiles, then worked together to spell sight words. The sensory element kept them focused and engaged while also making the activity fun and interactive. These resources are also available as calming tools when students need a sensory break to reset and return to learning ready to focus.\r\n\r\nThank you for your contribution to this project,","fullyFundedDate":1746785262779,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-bin-fillers/9262398/","projectTitle":"Sensory Bin Fillers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9975562"},{"teacherId":9975562,"projectId":9206941,"letterContent":"The Spot Series introduces important social-emotional lessons that help students recognize, label, and manage their feelings. Through engaging characters, the books teach skills like empathy, kindness, perseverance, and problem-solving. Along with these life skills, students also practice literacy strategies such as making predictions, identifying the main idea, and making text-to-self connections. The combination of SEL and literacy makes the stories both meaningful and memorable.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an interactive experience. We often begin with a read-aloud, where students listen, look at the illustrations, and engage in guided discussion. Students are encouraged to share their thoughts, ask questions, and connect the story to their own experiences. Afterward, we use activities, role-play, or journaling to reinforce the lesson. Reading isn't just about decoding words—it's about building comprehension, communication, and self-awareness. \r\n\r\nThanking for your willingness to contribute to my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1743292295622,"projectUrl":"project/feelings-and-emotions/9206941/","projectTitle":"Feelings and Emotions","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9975562"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69798","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"22.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":69798,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Godwin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Godwin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/godwin-heights-school-district/north-godwin-elementary-school/69798"}
