Since receiving these items my kids are developing their tiny muscles with the playdough. They are using their words to ask for what colors they want to use as well as molding creations with the kinetic sand. They are always so excited to do sensory play now. Being able to print out icons and communication boards for them have been so helpful as well. They can point to their requests and begin using their words to communicate. These items are developing their tiny muscles, their communication skills as well as social skills with sharing and turn taking with peers.

My students have loved playing with the microphones and instruments. They are learning to use their words to request colors and share with peers. They love music time now and are so excited when they see our instruments and microphones come out. They get to make choices from the instruments, from using the variety or the shakers or the eggs. They are always so happy. They dance with each other and using the instruments we are learning/exposing them to prepositions such as let's put the egg on our heads, knees and nose, etc. they are learning so much just from your donations and it's so wonderful to see.

Their reactions were filled with curiosity and joy — they immediately began exploring the textures, colors, and movement of each item. For many of my students, especially those with sensory sensitivities and emotional regulation challenges, these materials have made a huge difference in how they experience the classroom.\r\n\r\nNow, when a child is feeling overwhelmed, they can calmly choose a soft textured pillow or take a quiet moment in our sensory space. The wobbly chair and cushions have helped students who struggle to sit still find comfort and balance during group time and table work. One of my students who typically avoids group activities now independently grabs a sensory tool and joins us — a small moment that represents big progress.\r\n\r\nThese items have helped me create a supportive classroom environment where students can practice self-regulation, build focus, and meet their IEP goals in a way that feels safe and empowering. Our room feels more peaceful and responsive, and learning is now more accessible to every student.","fullyFundedDate":1641864294895,"projectUrl":"project/preschoolers-seeking-soothing-and-calmin/6026622/","projectTitle":"Preschoolers Seeking Soothing and Calming Sensory Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cerda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4602922_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557300285566","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/adilesliy-cerda"},{"teacherId":1593187,"projectId":9077167,"letterContent":"My students and I are so grateful for your donations.

They all helped decorate and organize it. They also decided to take their shoes off when visiting our calming corner so they can keep the carpet clean. The calming corner has empowered my students to take responsibility of their feelings and they are now more able to use their words instead of their hands to resolve a problem.
