Your contribution to our classroom has already made a tremendous impact on my students, and I am so excited to share how these new resources are being used.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the new materials, my students have embraced the flexible seating options and sensory tools with enthusiasm. One of the most memorable moments was when students first got to try out the floor pillows and chair bands. It was like a lightbulb went off—they were so excited to have a space that allowed them to focus and move around at the same time. The sensory tools, such as fidget toys and squishies, have been an excellent way to help students manage stress and stay engaged during lessons. These tools give them an outlet for their energy and help them feel more calm and ready to learn. I've seen a significant improvement in their ability to stay on task and participate in class activities.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, the next steps for my students will involve continuing to use these tools to enhance their learning experiences. For example, we're about to begin a group project where students will collaborate on creating a presentation about a historical figure in January. The flexible seating and sensory tools will allow them to work in a way that's comfortable for them, which will help them engage more deeply with the content and each other. We'll also continue using the motivational rewards like the scented pencils and treasure chest prizes to celebrate their progress and encourage positive behavior throughout the project.\r\n\r\nYour support has created an environment where my students feel more comfortable, focused, and motivated. Thank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1726657538456,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-tools-and-rewards-for-student-su/8791099/","projectTitle":"Sensory Tools and Rewards for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miramontes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missmiramontes"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33955","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":860,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"30.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.2,"schoolId":33955,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hosler Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hosler Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lynwood-unified-school-district/hosler-middle-school/33955"}
