Your support has already made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my students in special education.\r\n\r\nI support special day classes for students with sensory needs. Many of my students experience significant sensory processing challenges that can make it difficult for them to stay regulated throughout the school day. Since receiving the sensory tools, I've seen such positive changes:\r\n\r\nStudents who used to struggle with focus are now able to stay engaged longer during lessons because they have appropriate sensory input. One student specifically is now able to sit longer during circle time with the use of a weighted lap pad to help them. \r\nSeveral students are independently choosing tools from our sensory area when they need a break, which has reduced frustration and meltdowns. The overall classroom climate feels calmer and more inclusive.\r\n\r\nThese tools are not just \"nice to have\"—they are essential supports that help my students access their education. Because of your kindness, my students are better able to stay regulated, participate, and learn alongside their peers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my classroom and investing in these incredible kids. I will continue to make sure your gift is used thoughtfully every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1771969811704,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-help/9887981/","projectTitle":"Sensory Help","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Megan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10282840"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4105","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":506,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":23,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":13,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.1,"schoolId":4105,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John Swett Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John Swett Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/martinez-unified-school-district/john-swett-elementary-school/4105"}
