Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my students. We are currently using the new materials to design and create our own hand-sewn monsters, and the excitement in the room has been incredible.\r\n\r\nStudents begin by sketching their monster ideas, choosing a body style, and planning the details they want to sew on. Then they use the donated supplies to stitch the pieces together and stuff their creations. This project has quickly become a favorite. They are learning real sewing techniques while bringing their imaginative characters to life.\r\n\r\nTheir reaction to the materials was priceless. On sewing days, they walk into the art room full of energy. They tell me how much they have been looking forward to it and how they have been thinking about their monsters all week. Many of them have never sewn before, and watching them gain confidence stitch by stitch has been amazing.\r\n\r\nWe are currently in the middle of the project, and students are continuing to build their skills as they sew, assemble, and personalize their monsters. These are techniques they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. They are learning patience, problem-solving, and creativity through hands-on work that feels meaningful and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this experience possible. Your support has opened the door to a project my students will remember for years.","fullyFundedDate":1761837653120,"projectUrl":"project/felted-fearless-sewing-monsters-with/9861388/","projectTitle":"Felted & Fearless: Sewing Monsters with Heart","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schenck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1414338_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478714596210","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1414338"},{"teacherId":5477315,"projectId":9531149,"letterContent":"This classroom rug has created a common n meeting place in my classroom.

This has made the fluidity of morning meeting occur in a smoother, but more independent manner. This space provides boundaries as well as easily identifiable spaces for each student.

We really appreciate it!\r\nThe addition of a spinning chair and sensory stepping stones have been very beneficial for all of my students. During brain breaks the spinning chair is always an option and there is always a student on it. Sometimes we have to set a timer and give more than one person a turn. I have read several articles that have talked about how a spinning chair aides in regulation and self-control, while also providing core strength. Spinning can calm the vestibular system for students, which can help to improve focus. I have noticed a few students that use the spinning chair several times a day. \r\nWe typically use the stepping stones for a specific reason. All students participate when we have them out. What I love about them is it helps with balance, coordination and strength. They also provide sensory regulation through the different textures.\r\nThese two items have added new ways for my students to regulate or get sensory input. I am always looking for new items that meet the needs of my students and these are definitely two items I would recommend to a general or special education teacher.\r\nThank you for helping me help my students.","fullyFundedDate":1743004517083,"projectUrl":"project/starting-the-new-year-sensory-strong/9019455/","projectTitle":"Starting the New Year Sensory Strong!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9834206"},{"teacherId":9834206,"projectId":9308758,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support. We love the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine. We have several students who have a hard time sitting still for a full book. With this machine, students can choose the book they want to read and can change it anytime.

It is a lot of fun to see them choose a book and find their spot and watch it. The machine reads the story, it shows pictures and there is music that goes along with it as well.\r\n\r\nI hope to continue to add to our collection as the years go by.

This school year, I have several students diagnosed with ASD and also several students that need a lot of sensory input. The new swing that was purchased through this program has provided just that.

I also have many students that use it before transitioning out of the classroom or after they transition into the classroom.\r\n\r\nI have students that have come from another classroom that has a similar swing. When this swing was hung up they were so excited to see it and couldn't wait to use it.
