It may seem like a small addition, but for our special needs students, having clear, accessible storage has made a big difference in how smoothly our days run. The bins have allowed us to create clear routines and reduce visual clutter, which helps many of our students feel more calm and focused during transitions.\r\n\r\nWith everything now labeled and in its place, our classroom has become a more structured and independent learning environment. Students know exactly where to find their materials and where to put them away, which builds confidence and reinforces responsibility. For many of our kids, that sense of predictability and ownership is key to feeling safe and successful at school.\r\n\r\nThese bins have also helped us better organize sensory tools, learning centers, and incentive materials so they're ready to go when needed. This has given us more time to focus on teaching and building connections with our students, instead of managing chaos. Thank you for helping us create a more organized, supportive space where our students can truly thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1749238667342,"projectUrl":"project/organization-materials/9356124/","projectTitle":"Organization Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teague","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9719428_orig.png?crop=185,185,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731695023121","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719428"},{"teacherId":9719428,"projectId":9216437,"letterContent":"I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support of our special needs classroom. Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase essential supplies like sensory tools, adaptive seating, and basic school materials that have made a huge difference in our students' day to day experiences. These items have helped create a calmer, more comfortable learning environment, and the impact is visible in how much more engaged and confident our students have become. \r\n\r\nYour support also allowed us to bring in more visual aids and hands-on materials, which are key to how many of our students learn best. We've been using classroom games and new recess activities as positive incentives, and it's been amazing to see how motivated the kids are to work toward their goals. These tools not only help with learning, but also with building social skills, teamwork, and focus.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful changes has been our ability to celebrate progress and milestones in fun, creative ways. With the materials for class events and small celebrations, we've been able to build a real sense of community and pride in our classroom. It's made our students feel recognized and valued, and that feeling carries over into everything we do. Thank you again for believing in them—and in us.","fullyFundedDate":1746625469907,"projectUrl":"project/our-needs/9216437/","projectTitle":"Our Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teague","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9719428_orig.png?crop=185,185,x0,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731695023121","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719428"},{"teacherId":9007007,"projectId":9253774,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your amazing donation. With your donation we were able to purchase and receive multiple sets of headphones, mice, pencils and a hole puncher. It is hard to believe the number of headphones and mice that we have gone through with our kiddos this school year and having them come already has allowed us to continue working through the end of the year. \r\nWith having the number of mice and headphones that we do now each student is able to have a set for themselves. We are also able to use them to teach students more about responsiblities and keeping track of their own items. \r\nThank you again for all that you do.","fullyFundedDate":1746714028735,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-anyone/9253774/","projectTitle":"Supplies Anyone?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9007007"},{"teacherId":9305550,"projectId":8966492,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation of the Meta Quests to our classrooms! I cannot explain the excitement that they have brought to our classrooms and students! We have had such an increase in good behavior for a chance to use the Meta Quests as a reward during a difficult time of the year. \r\nThe use of the Meta Quests has also really opened up opportunities for our students. The primary kids have been studying the ocean ecosystem and thanks to the Meta Quests they were able to take a virtual field trip underwater to explore the exosystem and see what they were learning about. Without your amazing support we could not provide our students with these amazing opportunities.

This is a tough time of year when supplies are running short and money even shorter. I appreciate all that you have done to help me restock some of the much needed things for the classroom including clorox wipes to clean our desks, expo markers to write on the board and the always needed noise canceling headphones to help down out the distracting noise that we struggle with. \r\nI work with students who have behavior disabilities and needs so the noise canceling headphones are a must with all of my students. With the ones we were able to get we have enough that the students who need them do not have to do without. Thank you so much for this.
