Because of your kindness, my students now have access to materials that help them learn, create, regulate their emotions, and participate more fully in daily classroom activities.\r\n\r\nI teach students in grades 9-12, and each student brings unique strengths, interests, and support needs. The supplies you provided have made a meaningful difference in our classroom environment and in the opportunities available to my students.\r\n\r\nThe art materials, including markers, crayons, colored pencils, paint, paintbrushes, glue sticks, Play-Doh, and cardstock, have allowed students to express themselves creatively through hands-on projects. Many of my students communicate and demonstrate understanding in nontraditional ways, and these materials provide valuable outlets for self-expression, choice-making, and skill development. After using nearly all of our art supplies last year, restocking these resources has ensured that creativity remains an important part of our daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe sensory supports have also been incredibly beneficial. The weighted blanket, sensory chew necklaces, and LCD writing tablets provide students with tools that help them self-regulate, stay focused, and feel comfortable throughout the school day. These supports promote independence and help students successfully engage in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have become a wonderful source of motivation and positive reinforcement. Students work hard toward their individual goals, and having a variety of safe, allergy-friendly snacks available helps celebrate their achievements while encouraging participation, perseverance, and positive behavior.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the diffuser and essential oils have helped create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Creating an inviting environment is especially important for high school students, and these items help make our classroom feel comfortable, relaxing, and supportive.\r\n\r\nOther materials, such as laminating pouches, bulletin board paper, dry erase erasers, pencils, pens, and other classroom supplies, have helped us stay organized and create durable learning materials that can be used throughout the year.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is better equipped to meet the diverse needs of every learner. Your donation has provided much more than supplies; it has provided opportunities for creativity, communication, sensory support, motivation, and success.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our students' growth. Your contribution is appreciated more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1786042671956,"projectUrl":"project/extensive-needs-classroom/10435964/","projectTitle":"Extensive Needs Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alday","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10573885"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40588","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1034,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":40588,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fillmore High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fillmore High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/fillmore-unified-school-district/fillmore-high-school/40588"}
