Your support has already begun to make a meaningful difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe sensory tiles provide my students with an engaging, calming, and interactive way to regulate their emotions and refocus during the school day. For many of my learners, having access to tactile, movement-based tools helps reduce stress, increase focus, and create a sense of safety and comfort in the classroom. It has been incredible to see students gravitate toward the tiles—whether to take a mindful moment, to reset between tasks, or simply to experience a moment of joy.\r\n\r\nYour kindness does more than supply materials—it creates opportunities. These sensory supports help my students feel understood, valued, and empowered. Thank you for believing in them and for investing in their well-being and success.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your generosity and for the positive impact you've made in our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1758501230707,"projectUrl":"project/liquid-sensory-tiles/9680046/","projectTitle":"Liquid Sensory Tiles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DiLustro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7931359_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y134&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693512777023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7931359"},{"teacherId":6564024,"projectId":9687647,"letterContent":"We would like to thank both our community and classroom families for donating and supporting our on-going learning in our classroom.
