They labeled each pocket and we check them weekly to make sure they are keeping things organized. \r\n\r\nWe were also able to buy some paper agenda books for those students who find paper more helpful than digital reminders.","fullyFundedDate":1755965690502,"projectUrl":"project/brand-new-freshmen-seminar-class/9614173/","projectTitle":"Brand New Freshmen Seminar Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DiTommaso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6866826_orig.jpg?crop=745,745,x1118,y756&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666325709568","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6866826"},{"teacherId":6866826,"projectId":9327084,"letterContent":"Our new building is beautiful but all of the classrooms are exactly the same.

They are able to go into the sensory room with the overhead lights turned off and enjoy the lights streaming through the bubble tube, the fiber optic cables and on the walls. Some students complete learning activities in that setting while others take a break and return to class once they feel relaxed and comfortable. \r\n\r\nThe materials also included vibrating cushions and mat. We were able to connect the vibrating heated mat to a switch system so that our medically fragile students learned to use a switch to activate it. We placed the mat on their side or under them on the wheelchair or table and then they could make it go with a switch. One student took particular delight in using the switch to feel the vibrations. It made her smile and laugh with joy.","fullyFundedDate":1726670140018,"projectUrl":"project/calming-sensory-items-for-students-with/8712377/","projectTitle":"Calming Sensory Items for Students With Autism","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1066663_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725473617546","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1066663"},{"teacherId":9727366,"projectId":9757602,"letterContent":"Our class grew dramatically this year.
