Students have become independent in using this tool and it allows them a calm and separate space to go and gather their thoughts in order to do their best learning. \r\n\r\nThe desk in my room has also allowed for additional opportunities for students needs to be met. Students who also struggle to physically sit on the rug have the opportunity to still be a part of the group and can stand at the table to get their instruction as well. The desk also allows for students to understand their unique needs and another way to focus and learn in ways that best support them. \r\n\r\nThe speaker that was provided we not only use to play calming music in any space we want, but the students have been able to use it to listen to read Alouds in a small group setting and also have access to text that may be too difficult for them to read on their own. These practices have helped to build their listening comprehension, as well as grow in their overall literacy practices and understandings. \r\n\r\nAll of the pieces have made a huge impact on my students, their learning and ability to self advocate for themselves and their learning. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity and support.","fullyFundedDate":1727025080895,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-sensory-supports/8743502/","projectTitle":"Classroom Sensory Supports","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Damask","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9336622"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38537","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":285,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":11,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.1,"schoolId":38537,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stone Bank School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stone Bank School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/stone-bank-school-district/stone-bank-elementary-school/38537"}
