The liquid floor tiles have made such a huge difference to my students; they absolutely love them! Since I work with students both in my classroom (resource room) and in their general education classrooms, I've been able to share these tiles across the different classrooms I support. It's amazing how something as simple as stepping on the tiles and watching the colors move can help students calm their bodies and get ready to learn. The floor cushions have also been a favorite! My students enjoy being able to grab a cushion from near our classroom library and find a comfortable spot on the carpet to sit while reading or listening to a story. I even put a couple in the calming area! The flexible seating options have also been helpful for students who need a little extra movement to stay focused, and the bouncy bands have made a noticeable difference for a student who has a hard time sitting still. \r\n\r\nThe sensory materials have been another wonderful addition to our classroom. I keep the changing seasons sensory tubes and calming rain tubes in our calm area, where students can use them when they need a moment to reset. Some students especially enjoy listening to the soothing sounds of the rain tubes, while the changing seasons tubes have also given us opportunities to talk about the different seasons throughout the year. The magnetic ten-frames have also been incredibly helpful during our math lessons. My students enjoy moving the magnetic counters around as they practice adding and subtracting within ten. Being able to actually see and move the counters helps make those math concepts easier to understand, especially since these are skills some of my students are working toward as part of their individual learning goals. Even the laminating pouches have made a difference! They've allowed me to create more durable visuals and reusable learning activities that students can write on with dry-erase markers and use again and again. \r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, I'm looking forward to finding even more ways to use these materials to support my students. Whether it's helping a student feel calm enough to return to learning, giving them a comfortable place to read, or making a math lesson a little easier to understand, these resources are making a difference in our everyday routines. I'm so grateful to have these extra tools available, not just for the students who come into my classroom, but also for the students I support in their general education classrooms. Thank you again for your generosity and for helping me give my students what they need to feel comfortable, supported, and successful!","fullyFundedDate":1778296665351,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-supports-for-tkfirst-grade-lear/10060086/","projectTitle":"Sensory Supports for TK–First Grade Learners With Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10418840_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769294614641","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10418840"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59285","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":427,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":29,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"21.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.7,"schoolId":59285,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brookhurst Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brookhurst Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/garden-grove-unified-school-district/brookhurst-elementary-school/59285"}
