Your support allowed us to also receive more 3-minute timers to use throughout the school building, which led to the opportunity for us to make additional stations available, while keeping consistent expectations at each station. \r\n\r\nOur sensory regulation stations, with your support, have helped create a safe, calming, and engaging space where children can thrive. By supporting the emotional well-being of our students, you are also directly enhancing their academic development, as they are better able to return to class regulated and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful contribution has made a meaningful difference in our school community and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to our students' well-being and development!","fullyFundedDate":1746575940074,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-regulation-stations-supporting/9183668/","projectTitle":"Sensory Regulation Stations: Supporting the bodies and minds of Wacousta","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burzynski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8150137_orig.jpg?crop=920,920,x0,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669079486572","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8150137"},{"teacherId":7876155,"projectId":9242855,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project, From Reluctant to Radiant Readers.

These new titles have created such a buzz in our classroom—students are reaching for books with excitement and confidence, eager to dive into stories they can read independently or enjoy with an adult. Your donations helped fill our shelves with books that are engaging and accessible, which is precisely what many of my students needed to build their reading skills and self-belief.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation has been immediate and meaningful. I've seen reluctant readers transform into enthusiastic book lovers. Students proudly share their favorite books with one another, and even ask for more time to read. It's been heartwarming to witness their growing joy and confidence in reading.
