Students in general and special education classes worked together to create sensory bottles during elementary art classes. It was an awesome experience to work with the special needs teachers and paraprofessionals towards a common goal. Students were happy and learning, choosing colorful, multi-textured items that created a calming effect as they floated in various directions and speeds, based on the students' movements of the bottle. Relaxing. Pleasing to the eye. Calming. This simple project allowed creativity, choice, independence and teamwork. Each student kept his/her bottle and used it as a calming, fidget of sorts. The floating, colorful glitter reminds me of the forever loved \"snow globes\". Each student kept his/her sensory bottle and many with smiles and laughter said: Thank-you----what a great process art activity and final product. So fun and meaningful--I am passing the appreciation on to all of you---Thanks so much!","fullyFundedDate":1758045362707,"projectUrl":"project/creative-calming-sensory-bottles/9702347/","projectTitle":"Creative & Calming Sensory Bottles!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. \"Jul\" Stephens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp997496_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1711940345083","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/997496"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75269","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1939,"numTeachers":110,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.9,"schoolId":75269,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Veterans Park Academy for the Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Veterans Park Academy for the Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-lee-county/veterans-park-academy-for-arts/75269"}
