The supplies have come in handy in so many ways in just the first half of the year. One moment I would like to touch on is when we were working on a social emotional lesson, discussing feelings. We had blank face mats and used our new PlayDoh to create different facial expressions based on different feelings. The students loved the activity, and working with the new PlayDoh! \r\n\r\nThe students are always excited and grateful to receive new items for the classroom, as am I! The students like to help me open the boxes and pull out whatever is inside. They always want to open the items and use them immediately! \r\n\r\nThank you again.

The moment those boxes started arriving, my students were so excited to see what was in them. We had to open them immediately! My students were so excited to see all of the sensory regulation tools and more than that, they couldn't wait to use them! \r\n\r\nThe first item we implemented was a weighted compression vest for one of my second grade friends. He had tried a weighted vest before and also a compression vest, but when he put on this weighted compression vest, he was so excited (as you will see in the picture). He kept saying, \"This is so nice.\" This item has helped him regulate his body during instruction, especially during small group when he is working so hard on his own level. \r\n\r\nThe second item we got a chance to use immediately were the chew necklaces. One of my Kindergarten friends enjoys eating glue sticks, so I knew a chew necklace would be a great replacement item for her. She chose the donut necklace and has worn it every day since. \r\n\r\nMy students are eager to come to small group and select sensory seating. Sometimes they enjoy sitting in a leaf chair on the floor or rocking in a rocking chair at the table. However, the direct impact of these items aren't only for my students, but 850 students in the building have access to the rocking chairs that have been placed in special area classes for all to use. \r\n\r\nI could go on and on about the impact of every single item: how I sent the headphones home with a student to wear on the bus to school, making his morning so much better, how the fidgets have reduced a students picking at his fingers, and how the weighted elephant has been hugged so many times by a student who uses it to regulate sensory needs due to Autism just to name a few more, but would never be able to write every time one of these items has made a difference for students since they have arrived. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donation and making an immense impact in the lives of these students.","fullyFundedDate":1758845859484,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-regulate-so-we-can-learn/9746428/","projectTitle":"Help Us Regulate So We Can Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10274086"},{"teacherId":675619,"projectId":9707528,"letterContent":"I want to start out with a BIG \"Thank You!\" for donating to my Donors Choose Project! I was amazed at how quickly it was funded and also how quickly I received the magnetic boards.\r\nWhen I first received all the boxes from Lakeshore Learning, my Kindergarteners were very curious as to what was in all those boxes! Their eyes and face were filled with exciting anticipation as I opened one of the boxes and then showed them what was inside. I told them that each of them would be able to have their own board to work with when we do our UFLI lessons... no sharing with these! They were screaming and jumping!!! Oh the joys of five and six year olds.😊❤️\r\nWe use these magnetic boards every other day to go along with our UFLI lessons. When I tell them it is time to get our their magnetic boards they are super excited to get them out. One girl told me the other day, \"I just love when we get to get these boards out!\" That makes my heart so happy when they enjoy learning to read!\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart.

I have seen so many changes from them in a very short amount of time. The board games you were able to provide for the class has taught them invaluable skills and brought back a love of learning.\r\nStudents communication skills have improved. Students are engaged in conversations with their peers and even encourage each other while playing games. They're finding all sorts of things they have in common with their peers that they would have never known had they not had the time to sit and play together. New friendships are being made.\r\nIn addition, students are learning to persevere. At the beginning of the year, I had so many students give up when things didn't go their way or they didn't know how to do things. They are learning to ask questions and give themselves time to learn without the frustrations taking over.\r\nFinally, my students are learning to take care of materials. At the beginning of this year, we lost a lot of supplies and didn't seem to care about items. Since the board games have been delivered, students are taking better care of materials knowing that they won't have games to play without the pieces. I am seeing them take better care for their spaces in the classroom and the materials they have to use.\r\nThank you for helping my students learn these invaluable lessons all while having fun!","fullyFundedDate":1758814267905,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play/9681118/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp436279_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1482278372379","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/angie-madden"},{"teacherId":3271773,"projectId":8929416,"letterContent":"Thank you to the DonorsChoose donors for supporting our Miniature Painting Club!
