This engaging, hands-on resource has made a tremendous difference for our students—especially those who benefit from sensory input to help them focus, calm, and self-regulate.\r\n\r\nEach day, students are drawn to the wall's textures, colors, and shapes. They love tracing the dinosaur footprints, feeling the different materials, and exploring with curiosity. The wall has become a positive space for movement breaks and emotional reset moments. Teachers have noticed that students return to class more centered and ready to learn after spending time at the wall.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the Dinosaur Sensory Wall has brought joy and inclusion to our school community. It's a reminder that learning happens in many ways—and that every student deserves an environment that supports their unique needs. Thank you for helping us create a space that fosters both learning and happiness for all our students!","fullyFundedDate":1758636553988,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-items-for-success/9739120/","projectTitle":"Sensory Items for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1923193_orig.jpg?crop=1538,1538,x0,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747396982073","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1923193"},{"teacherId":1923193,"projectId":9332065,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your generosity in helping our school receive document cameras!
