The sensory materials have been a huge success — students are using them to self-regulate and refocus throughout the day. You can see the difference: calmer transitions, more sustained focus, and a greater sense of comfort and belonging in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe binders I received are being used to organize each student's SDI (specially designed instruction) and differentiated lessons. This has made it much easier to track individual goals, personalize activities, and ensure that each learner is getting exactly what they need to succeed. The additional materials are helping me create a calm, inclusive space where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new sensory tools, their faces lit up! They immediately wanted to explore the textures, colors, and tools, and now they're beginning to independently use them when they need a break or sensory input. It's been incredible to watch their self-awareness grow.","fullyFundedDate":1755993178892,"projectUrl":"project/join-our-path/9629277/","projectTitle":"Join Our PATH","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carnazza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9879949_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y235&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755914408047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9879949"},{"teacherId":1720343,"projectId":9550424,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

You can see their confidence build when they learn how to do a new skill or make a good play. More kids have opportunities and stay active.\r\n\r\nOur school team has benefitted as well. We now have better equipment to compete with other teams in our area and we are getting better every day. Most importantly to me is that many of our students will go on to play in high school keeping them focused on school and making good decisions beyond their middle school years.
