It's because of your desire to give to our schools that my students get the extras they deserve! As mentioned in my project, our class is unique; we communicate using our hands. Whether we are using ASL with our hands, holding a pencil with our hands, or using crayons with our hands. These are all ways we express & communicate our needs, wants ideas & share our stories. The awesome crayon sets and other items allow my students to show me and their peers their thoughts!

This time around you all made my students' tummies extra excited! They love to get the opportunity to pick from the \"snack drawer\" for their hard work! A 100% spelling test...yay! go get a snack! These are just the little extra things that our kiddos love to have the chance to earn. And just sometimes, it's just because! Our students work hard everyday and it is just nice to give them a little extra to show them that we are proud of everything they do and accomplish!","fullyFundedDate":1715170379829,"projectUrl":"project/who-doesnt-like-some-delicious-munchies/8204098/","projectTitle":"Who Doesn’t Like Some Delicious Munchies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eliza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7394171_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1597711977734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizas-deafandhardofhearingrockstars"},{"teacherId":7394171,"projectId":8206742,"letterContent":"Thanks so much again for your donations! This printer has allowed us to print extra supplemental worksheets to be paired with our curriculum. In addition I can print other exciting supplements and in color! I then laminate these items so we can reuse them as needed & they look as good as they did the first day they were printed. In addition because this printer is in our class, we can print & use it at our convenience. Students have the access to any type of worksheet when they need it; it's just great!

These resources have already made a world of difference for my students. The sensory tent has quickly become a go-to spot when things get too overwhelming, offering a quiet place where they can recharge and return to their work with renewed focus. The fidget tools and sensory toys are a huge hit as well—my students have discovered how they can use them to release extra energy, which helps them settle back into their tasks much more easily. Just the other day, one of my students curled up in the bean bag with a book about emotions and later shared how it helped them calm down and process their feelings.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, you could see the excitement in their eyes. They were so eager to explore the new books and sensory tools, and it was amazing to watch them dive right into using them. The books, in particular, have sparked wonderful conversations about emotions, with students beginning to share more openly about how they feel. It's been heartwarming to see them gain confidence in expressing their emotions and recognizing how to manage them, which is a vital skill both in and out of the classroom.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, we're excited to build on the progress we've made. In the coming weeks, we'll be focusing on applying what we've learned to real-life situations, working together to explore how to handle different emotions through group activities. The support you've provided is setting my students up for success, not just in their academic journeys, but also in building emotional resilience that will serve them for years to come. Thank you for making all of this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1737049129640,"projectUrl":"project/a-calming-corner-for-little-learners/9019681/","projectTitle":"A Calming Corner for Little Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Larissa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9101304_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725227692832","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9101304"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121327","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":72.6,"schoolId":121327,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Merced County Office of Education TABS on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Merced County Office of Education TABS","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/merced-county-office-of-education/merced-county-office-of-education-tabs/121327"}
