Through planting, watering, and observing seeds each day, students practiced sequencing, making predictions, and understanding cause-and-effect relationships. Many students showed increased engagement and patience as they waited for their seeds to sprout, celebrating even the smallest changes they observed.\r\n\r\nBecause of the materials provided, I was able to teach life science concepts in a way that met my students' diverse learning needs. The project supported fine motor development through scooping soil and handling seeds, language development through describing changes, and social-emotional growth as students worked together and took responsibility for caring for their plants. The sensory experience of touching soil and watching growth also helped students stay calm, focused, and connected to the lesson.\r\n\r\nYour generous donation made it possible to turn an abstract science concept into a meaningful, real-world experience. Seeing their seeds grow helped my students build confidence, curiosity, and pride in their work. Thank you for helping create a learning experience that allowed every student to succeed, explore, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1763661111129,"projectUrl":"project/seed-science-for-special-education-expl/9903060/","projectTitle":"Seed Science for Special Education: Exploring How Plants Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10347951"},{"teacherId":10347951,"projectId":9889279,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating LEGO sets, STEM sensory toys, and building blocks to our classroom. These materials have already become a meaningful part of our daily learning. My students are using the LEGO sets and blocks during structured STEM time to practice problem-solving, following directions, and teamwork. One of my favorite moments was watching a student carefully design a tower, knock it down, and proudly rebuild it—showing perseverance and confidence that had been difficult for them to express before.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. Many immediately reached out to touch, sort, and explore the pieces. For some of my students, the sensory toys helped them feel calm and focused, allowing them to fully engage in learning activities. Others were eager to collaborate, sharing pieces and ideas while practicing communication and social skills.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our next steps include expanding our STEM lessons to focus on building with purpose—such as creating bridges, ramps, and simple structures that support weight. Students will also use the sensory STEM toys during small-group instruction to strengthen fine motor skills, self-regulation, and attention. Your donation has truly opened the door to hands-on learning, creativity, and growth, and it has made our classroom a more engaging and supportive place for every student. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to learn, explore, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1763315786176,"projectUrl":"project/stem-learning-starts-with-sensory-explo/9889279/","projectTitle":"“STEM Learning Starts With Sensory Exploration”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10347951"},{"teacherId":1194283,"projectId":9589156,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our project, Flexible Seating for Focused Minds: Wiggle, Bounce, Learn. Because of your kindness, our classroom now has wiggle wobble chairs, and the impact on our students has been immediate, meaningful, and lasting. Your donation did more than purchase seating—it transformed the way our students learn, focus, and engage each day.\r\n\r\nMany of our students come to school full of energy and curiosity, but sitting still for long periods can be challenging. Before this project, some students struggled to maintain focus, not because they weren't motivated, but because their bodies needed movement in order to learn. Thanks to you, that challenge has turned into an opportunity. The wiggle wobble chairs allow students to move safely and quietly while remaining engaged in instruction, giving them the freedom to learn in the way their bodies need most.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the flexible seating, students feel more prepared to focus for longer periods of time. Lessons that once required frequent redirection now flow more smoothly. Students are better able to listen, participate in discussions, and complete independent work. The gentle movement provided by the chairs helps students regulate their energy, which leads to calmer transitions and a more productive learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe positive impact also extends beyond academics. With improved focus and comfort, students show greater perseverance and patience. They are more willing to take on challenging tasks and remain engaged even when the work becomes difficult. This has led to stronger peer collaboration, improved classroom behavior, and a more inclusive learning space where different learning styles are respected and supported.\r\n\r\nThank you for making Flexible Seating for Focused Minds: Wiggle, Bounce, Learn a reality. Because of you, our students are more focused, confident, and ready to learn. Your impact is felt every single day, and we are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1758813153117,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-minds-wigg/9589156/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused Minds: Wiggle, Bounce, Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1194283_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643509450039","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1194283"},{"teacherId":1194283,"projectId":8935493,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation of materials for our hands-on STEM projects.
