Many of my students struggle to stay attentive for long periods of time, especially during independent work or lessons that require sustained concentration. The sensory tools provided through this project gave students a productive outlet for movement, helping them channel extra energy without disrupting learning.\r\n\r\nSince introducing these tools, I have noticed students becoming more focused and engaged during lessons. The fidgets allow students to keep their hands busy while still paying attention, which helps them process information and remain on task. Students who previously had difficulty sitting still or managing frustration now have a strategy that helps them regulate their emotions and continue working.\r\n\r\nThis project also helped create a more supportive and inclusive classroom environment. Students are learning that everyone has different needs and strategies for success, and the sensory tools help normalize self-regulation in our classroom. Overall, these resources have improved student engagement, reduced distractions, and helped create a calmer learning environment where all students have a better opportunity to succeed. We are incredibly grateful for the support that made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1767287178584,"projectUrl":"project/focus-through-fidgets-sensory-tools-for/9677892/","projectTitle":"Focus Through Fidgets: Sensory Tools for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8943302"},{"teacherId":9509464,"projectId":9885693,"letterContent":"The children were so excited to explore the new materials!

They are excited to explore, investigate, and feel like real scientists while staying safe.\r\nBuilding cities and roads with the Magna-Tiles has been a big hit, encouraging creativity and problem solving.
