It was an amazing experience for my students and will be a core memory of what they will remember from 3rd grade.\r\n\r\nIn class we are writing about owls. The class did a lot of research to help them with their writing. Two of the topics they researched were an owls habitat and what they ate. They learned depending on the owl, they eat small rodents like mice and shrew, as well as small birds. This owl dissection gave students the opportunity to see the skeletons of the animals the owl ate. They were able to separate the fur from the bones and identify the bones on a classification worksheet. I had several students say they did not want to touch it because they thought it was gross. Every single one of those student's curiosity got the best of them, and they loved every minute of it. Students were surprised at how big some of the skulls were and how many were in each pellet. \r\n\r\nThis project was such a fantastic hands on learning experience for them. Thank you very much for your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1755733955218,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science-owl-pellet-dissection/9273581/","projectTitle":"Hands on Science!

We use these resources daily as part of our calm-down corner and during sensory breaks throughout the day. One of the most impactful moments was when we used the fidget tools during a group reading session — students who usually struggle with focus were noticeably more engaged, and it created a more inclusive, supportive learning atmosphere for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on my students' faces when they first saw the sensory toys was unforgettable. They immediately gravitated toward the textured items and sensory bins, and many asked thoughtful questions about how to use them. For some of my students with sensory processing needs, these materials provide a much-needed outlet to self-regulate and stay present in the classroom. It was heartwarming to see students helping each other explore and share the materials, building both community and social-emotional skills.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we're incorporating the sensory tools into a unit on self-regulation and mindfulness. Students are learning how to recognize their own needs and choose the right tools to help themselves refocus or calm down. These skills are not only helping with academic focus but are also essential for their personal growth. Your support didn't just provide supplies — it helped create a classroom where every student feels safe, understood, and ready to learn.
