For a special education teacher, organization isn't just about neatness—it is a vital tool to provide accessibility and foster communication and engagement. \r\nBecause my students can now see exactly what is inside each container, they are empowered to make more choices and express their interests. We have added picture labels to these bins, which have become a powerful catalyst for our students with emerging language. My students are motivated to use their communication skills to request the specific items they want. The uniform look helps to reduce visual distractions in our classroom and creates a calmer learning environment. \r\nThe woven baskets have been perfect for holding larger collections of dramatic play and sensory toys. Children in my classroom are learning to navigate sharing space and materials in the classroom with their peers. They are able to work on sorting skills during clean-up time to place objects with similar items. \r\nYou haven't just given us containers; you have given these children a classroom where they can work on their IEP goals in a more organized and beautiful space.\r\nThank you for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1766333550429,"projectUrl":"project/clear-bins-are-invitations-to-learn/9755700/","projectTitle":"Clear Bins Are Invitations to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sericea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3931372_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475689043162","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teachersericea"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96330","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":59,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":70.4,"schoolId":96330,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Duncan Hobert School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Duncan Hobert School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/pajaro-valley-unified-school-district/duncan-hobert-school/96330"}
