Our next steps will focus on building independence and extending participation in both individual and small-group lessons. For our students, even a small step forward can represent meaningful progress.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping me create a welcoming classroom where they feel valued and supported.

The students are truly self-directed and engage at their time and pace. \r\n In our motor room I added a bin with swirls, stars and squeezable green clusters. We hide things in and under the assorted textures and the students love exploring and discovering hidden manipulatives and puzzle pieces.\r\n In the music room I added a bin or assorted musical bells. The bells vary in size and pitch and volume, and the students pick one usually two (one for each hand) and wave away to their delight.\r\n As we transition to new spaces around our campus, my students now know that there will be a sensory bin to explore and it helps to have this preferred activity for their busy hands as they get ready for the next activity.\r\nI couldn't do it without You.","fullyFundedDate":1784829278207,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-outdoor-dedicated-sensory-play/10319407/","projectTitle":"Indoor / Outdoor Dedicated Sensory Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Matos-Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2338128_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625783442709","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miriam-matosbrown"},{"teacherId":9429655,"projectId":10196131,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

The new doctors cart has inspired my students to expand their play by dressing in the doctors coats. Then roll the doctors cart outside and with the help of my support team they take temps, give shots and review x-rays. When the cart is on the visual schedule my students put away their puzzles more quickly so we can transition outside to play.\r\n The new bubble machine is a godsend. We used to take turns with the traditional bubble and wand set up to provide bubbles at recess for my students to track. Now our bubble machine is automatic. So we get to play with the students at the various centers while bubbles fly overhead. They love it!\r\n We used to use the goggles only at centers, where only two students can participate at one time. Now I can demonstrate science cause and effect activities for a large group of students because they can all get a pair of goggles to wear.\r\n My biggest thrill is watching my students engage in STEM activities. This was our fourth time raising butterflies. My students now access prior knowledge during the life cycle activities and need less support from my classroom staff. Developing engagement leads to more independent skills.
