These resources have been integrated into small-group lessons, movement breaks, and independent work time to help students regulate their bodies, focus their attention, and engage more fully in learning. One meaningful moment occurred during a small-group activity when a student independently chose a regulation tool, completed the activity, and proudly shared that it helped them \"feel calm and ready to learn.\" Moments like this show the real impact of your support.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and curious. They were eager to explore the new games and tools and quickly learned how each item supports focus, calming, or movement in a positive way. With guidance, students have been practicing how to choose tools appropriately and use them responsibly as part of our classroom routines.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue learning how to recognize their own regulation needs and select strategies that work best for them during academic tasks and social interactions. These resources will support ongoing lessons focused on self-regulation, problem-solving, and independence. Your contribution has created a more supportive and inclusive learning environment, and we are so grateful for the opportunity it has given our students to grow and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1764746070710,"projectUrl":"project/sweet-serenity-sensory-success/9683736/","projectTitle":"Sweet Serenity!
