I teach a wonderful group of K–2 students with autism, and meaningful progress happens when students feel safe, motivated, and supported. Your generosity has made that possible every single day.\r\n\r\nThe snacks and reinforcers you helped fund are used during academic tasks, communication practice, sensory regulation, and behavior support. For many of my learners, having access to motivating items helps them stay engaged, increases their willingness to try new skills, and builds confidence as they experience success. These small items—favorite snacks, tangible reinforcers, and high-interest choices—create big moments of growth.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students have had more positive work sessions, smoother transitions, and happier school days. You've given them tools that meet their unique needs and help them learn in ways that honor who they are. We are so grateful for your kindness and belief in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a real difference for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1760020655202,"projectUrl":"project/smiles-snacks-making-sure-no-child-go/9499880/","projectTitle":"Smiles & Snacks: Making Sure No Child Goes Without","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Civitello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047231_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752595526898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047231"},{"teacherId":10047231,"projectId":9811932,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping bring our sensory room wall to life. This addition has made a tremendous impact on our K–2 students with autism, giving them a safe and intentional space to regulate their bodies and emotions throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nSince the wall was installed, students have been using it during sensory breaks, transition times, and moments when they feel overwhelmed. The different textures, movement options, and visual elements on the wall give students a way to calm themselves independently and build the self-regulation skills they need for learning.\r\n\r\nI've seen students who used to struggle with frustration now choose the wall as a coping tool. Others visit it to refocus before challenging tasks or to take a quiet moment when the classroom feels too busy. Even our youngest learners have learned to communicate when they need a sensory break and return to class more regulated and ready to participate.\r\n\r\nThis sensory wall has truly transformed our environment. It supports emotional well-being, reduces challenging behaviors, and helps students feel more in control of their bodies. Your generosity made this possible, and we are so grateful for the positive changes we're seeing every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us create a more inclusive and supportive space.","fullyFundedDate":1760398103891,"projectUrl":"project/soft-seats-sensory-walls-building-cal/9811932/","projectTitle":"Soft Seats & Sensory Walls: Building Calm in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Civitello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047231_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752595526898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047231"},{"teacherId":10047231,"projectId":9486246,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our sensory bin materials have made a meaningful difference in our K–2 autism classroom. The moment the bins arrived, my students were immediately drawn to the textures, colors, and tools inside. What may look like simple materials have become powerful supports for regulation, engagement, and learning.\r\n\r\nThese sensory bins now play an important role in our daily routines. Students who once struggled with transitions now begin their day by grounding themselves with calming sensory input. Others use the materials to practice fine motor skills—scooping, pinching, pouring, and sorting—while building the focus they need for academic tasks.\r\n\r\nI've watched students who rarely interacted with peers sit side-by-side, exploring materials together and taking turns. I've also seen increased communication as students request tools, describe textures, and label items. These small moments represent big steps toward their IEP and VB-MAPP goals.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide sensory tools—it helped create a classroom environment where my students feel safe, regulated, and ready to learn. Thank you for believing in them, and for giving them tools that meet their sensory needs in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways.","fullyFundedDate":1757064437350,"projectUrl":"project/scoop-squish-smile/9486246/","projectTitle":"Scoop, Squish, Smile!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Civitello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047231_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752595526898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047231"},{"teacherId":10047231,"projectId":9499675,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more engaging, comfortable, and student-centered learning space! The new flexible seating options, including the cube seats, have already made a noticeable difference in the way my students learn and collaborate every day.\r\nThe cube seats are especially popular—they're lightweight, colorful, and easy for students to move around. This simple flexibility has empowered students to take ownership of their learning spaces, whether they're working independently, with partners, or in small groups. I've noticed increased focus and an overall increase in participation from even my most reserved learners.\r\nStudents love having the freedom to choose a seat that helps them do their best work. Some prefer a cube seat for reading time, while others use them to during group instruction. The classroom now feels more like a community of active learners rather than rows of desks.\r\nThank you for believing in the power of flexible learning environments. Your kindness and generosity are helping students build confidence, independence, and collaboration skills that will serve them far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1753909817966,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-every-learner-sensory-and-se/9499675/","projectTitle":"Supporting Every Learner: Sensory and Seating Solutions","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Civitello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047231_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752595526898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047231"},{"teacherId":10047231,"projectId":9486042,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our brand-new sensory room is now equipped with flexible seating options that are already making a meaningful difference in our students' lives.
