The students in my Special Education Classroom are happily utilizing all of the items that you helped provide each day. They use the sensory stickers on their desks to help them calm down; they use the fidgets to help them focus; they use the wiggly feet and chair bands to get sensory input as they are sitting and trying to complete work; and they enjoy having choices of wiggle stools and seat cushions to use throughout their school day. \r\n\r\nThe new trampoline is the favorite break item in our classroom! It get used all day long by almost all of my students during their break times. They use it to get sensory input, to calm themselves down, if needed, and just because they think it is fun. Each year our trampoline wears out, the springs break, and it gets worn out. Thank you for providing my students a much needed and appreciated safe new trampoline! \r\n\r\nYour kindness has improved the focus and the well-being of all of my students.

Our students are excited to have fresh supplies that they can use to create, explore, experiment, and express themselves through art.\r\n\r\n Your generosity will have an impact not only this school year, but for years to come.

The air purifier has helped with having clean and healthy air in our classroom, and I hope has led to a calmer environment for my students to learn in. The weighted lap pad/bear has helped many of my students while doing work to stay focused and to get sensory input. It has also come in handy when my students have become disregulated and need some extra weight to help them calm down. The sensory strips are on my of my students desk and they like to fidget with them while working. The breathing/calming toys have been a big hit in my classroom. The students are drawn to them and really like to ask for them when they need extra support calming down. They have helped us have a more soothing room. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for helping to fund these items and help my autistic students learn in a peaceful and soothing environment.","fullyFundedDate":1770427057709,"projectUrl":"project/soothing-sensory-items-for-autism-class/10075829/","projectTitle":"Soothing Sensory Items for Autism Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1422563_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x98,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704759063976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1422563"},{"teacherId":10183684,"projectId":10114666,"letterContent":"You all have no idea what a difference you have continued to make in my classroom!

We definitely need that\", or \"that's sooooo cooool!\", or \"Ms. Romero, that'll help our class a lot.\" With some of the things we received, we have been able to organize our classroom better by creating specific carts for small group work (ELA, Math, and SEL cart), students feel more comfortable when they're doing our fun assessments to have the boards up, have additional supplies needed in their boxes, binders to help me organize work/assesstments/IEP's better, etc. \r\nA huge THANK YOU from the bottom of my students and my heart. You're all making a huge difference and giving more opportunities for students, especially those with additional supports needed.

I read my students the book about Temple Grandin building her own squeeze machine. I had the opportunity to see her speak a few weeks ago and also got her to autograph our class book \r\n\r\nWhen I opened the box of our steam roller and put it down on a mat for my students to try, their eyes got big and bright. They were very excited! Most of them have seen one or used one in the Occupational Therapy room. However, now we have one in our classroom for them to use each and every day. The students lined up and squeezed through and loved it, some more than others. \r\n\r\nEach day I leave it out during certain times for the students to access and use as they would like, especially during break times. But I also have it available when I know that certain students need some deep sensory input to help them calm down and focus. This machine has changed our classroom for the better. My students love it and we are all so grateful for this gift that you have helped provide for all of them!","fullyFundedDate":1764724741644,"projectUrl":"project/autism-steam-roller-for-sensory-seekers/9884606/","projectTitle":"Autism Steam Roller for Sensory Seekers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1422563_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x98,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704759063976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1422563"},{"teacherId":10183684,"projectId":9614240,"letterContent":"We would like to take a moment to show our utmost appreciation for supporting our classroom! We are very thankful for each and every one of your generosity in providing my students with additional opportunities to succeed in their education. My students were ecstatic with each and every package that arrived and looked forward to the great reveal. They were thankful for the items and couldn't wait to use them. We have used some of the items to expand their learning, organize our classroom better, provide more visual representation for lessons, hands-on activities like building sentences, creating cvc words, and practicing their signing. They've enjoyed the books we received, taking initiative in reading some of those books, and taken turns sitting in the beanbag, when possible. I've noticed an improvement in a lot of my students quality of work, willingness to learn, and motivation. The step ladder and rolling basket has helped me a lot when needing to put things up or transitioning more things at a time. I utilized the rolling cart to organize our small group work better. I will continue to find ways to not only challenge my students to better their education, but also create a safe space for them to WANT to learn and be themselves. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! \r\nI would also like to give a HUGE shoutout to DonorsChoose for providing a platform and space for people to come together and support one another!
