Our students get overwhelmed easily, especially in a noisy classroom with a cacophony of sounds from other students, teachers, and noises. The sensory room has provided them a place to go and work with sensory materials that reduce their anxiety and allows them to return to the classroom setting ready to learn and work with others. \r\n\r\nWithout you, this project would not have happened and would not be the success that it is! While I can't publish photos of the students using it, I can show you the amazing space and you can imagine how comforting it can be and how it allows them to get out the pent up energy that creates barriers in a classroom. Thank you for helping my students!","fullyFundedDate":1783708126998,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-materials-for-sensitive-kids/10359222/","projectTitle":"Sensory Materials for Sensitive Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Copto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7261076"},{"teacherId":8629802,"projectId":9883315,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom now has morning bins filled with hands-on STEAM and literacy activities that have transformed how our kindergarteners begin each day. We use the bins each morning during independent work time: students choose a bin, complete the activity, and then place a self-check card in the return slot. One favorite was the Pixel Art Challenge math puzzles — students worked quietly side-by-side, practicing pattern recognition and counting while describing their color choices. Those small, focused moments let me take attendance and pull short small groups, so instruction time is calmer and more productive.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were ecstatic — they clustered around the storage bins, exclaiming over the magnetic tiles, wooden blocks, and lacing sets. I watched a shy student who rarely volunteered become the first to demonstrate a counting puzzle to a partner; another multilingual learner used the alphabet manipulative to match letters to sounds with growing confidence. The hands-on nature of the kits made abstract skills tangible, and engagement rose immediately.\r\n\r\nNext steps: we'll rotate specific bins into targeted skill weeks (phonics-focused bins during our literacy unit; pattern and counting bins during math lessons) and I'll use observations from morning work to group students for differentiated instruction. Over the semester I plan to document growth in letter recognition, fine-motor control, and early math fluency so we can share concrete progress with families and you — the donors who made this possible. Thank you for giving our students a curious, confident start to each day.","fullyFundedDate":1765845819357,"projectUrl":"project/bright-beginnings-morning-bins-for-our/9883315/","projectTitle":"Bright Beginnings: Morning Bins for Our Kindergartener","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Holliday","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8629802_orig.jpg?crop=1980,1980,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706467406803","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8629802"},{"teacherId":6892261,"projectId":7920732,"letterContent":"A vacuum and air purifier help keep Pre-K students healthy by removing dust, dirt, and germs from the classroom. Vacuuming regularly keeps the floors clean so children aren't breathing in allergens that can make them cough or sneeze. An air purifier works all day to filter the air, catching tiny particles like pollen, dust, and even some bacteria. When the air and floors are cleaner, children get sick less often and can focus better on learning and playing.\r\nThank you for helping us keep our classroom a clean, healthy place for all of our Pre-K students. Your support makes a big difference in creating a safe environment where our children can learn, play, and grow.
