We use these resources daily as part of our calm-down corner and during sensory breaks throughout the day. One of the most impactful moments was when we used the fidget tools during a group reading session — students who usually struggle with focus were noticeably more engaged, and it created a more inclusive, supportive learning atmosphere for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on my students' faces when they first saw the sensory toys was unforgettable. They immediately gravitated toward the textured items and sensory bins, and many asked thoughtful questions about how to use them. For some of my students with sensory processing needs, these materials provide a much-needed outlet to self-regulate and stay present in the classroom. It was heartwarming to see students helping each other explore and share the materials, building both community and social-emotional skills.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we're incorporating the sensory tools into a unit on self-regulation and mindfulness. Students are learning how to recognize their own needs and choose the right tools to help themselves refocus or calm down. These skills are not only helping with academic focus but are also essential for their personal growth. Your support didn't just provide supplies — it helped create a classroom where every student feels safe, understood, and ready to learn. Thank you for being part of our journey!","fullyFundedDate":1743008104337,"projectUrl":"project/high-five-to-sensory/9200175/","projectTitle":"High Five to Sensory","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9973572_orig.jpg?crop=665,665,x0,y68&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742523576673","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9973572"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31061","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":553,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":31061,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ramona Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ramona Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/moreno-valley-unified-school-district/ramona-elementary-school/31061"}
