The treasure chest incentive has been a huge success, students look forward to earning a reward at the end of each day, which motivates them to stay focused, make positive choices, and work hard. This daily routine has helped build self-regulation and a sense of accomplishment. The timers have also become essential tools, supporting smooth transitions, task completion, and emotional coping strategies throughout the day.\r\nFor students with sensory needs, the weighted blankets and stuffed animals have made a remarkable difference. During circle time or moments of overstimulation, these items provide comfort and help students self-regulate, allowing them to stay focused and participate more fully. \r\nTogether, these resources have created a more inclusive environment where every child feels supported. We're now building on this foundation with all the manipulatives for learning, laminated activities that are reusable, and a classroom with more resources for everyday use.","fullyFundedDate":1754177225911,"projectUrl":"project/supportive-spaces/9507875/","projectTitle":"Supportive Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carrasco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10097391_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753771511909","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10097391"},{"teacherId":10054079,"projectId":9407770,"letterContent":"Thank you all for your generous donations over the last few months!
