The noise-cancelling headphones have supported several students during drills and when the volume in my class gets too loud. When my students can feel their needs are met, that is what starts the learning process. One of my students is particularly sensitive to loud and sudden noises. The noise-cancelling headphones provide the student with some comfort and security. I love that the student can take the headphones wherever he may be and use them when he needs to.","fullyFundedDate":1756259559275,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-stimulation/9629145/","projectTitle":"Sensory Stimulation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily Mar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9627654"},{"teacherId":9627654,"projectId":9470522,"letterContent":"My students are using these new materials during sensory bins and when working on IEP goals. After lunch, I will give students space to relax and regulate themselves by offering sensory time. I have kinetic sand in sensory bins and students will pick a table to be at for a certain amount of time and get to feel with their hands the texture of the sand. I put the textured mats at one table for students to feel which promotes their kinesthetic senses. One of my students loves a particular textured mat which has grass on it. This resource has helped this particular student stay engaged and attentive during the school day which has supported his learning. \r\n\r\nSome next steps for this project are to continue exposing my students to different sensory materials and keep their attention during work time. I like to switch out different materials in task boxes so students can work on their fine motor skills using a variety of tools such as dot pens, dot stickers, and markers. \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1753309485580,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-out-the-resources-for-success/9470522/","projectTitle":"Rolling Out the Resources for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily Mar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9627654"},{"teacherId":9627654,"projectId":9135242,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to one of my classroom projects. My students are using these new resources during centers and sensory breaks. After lunch, students will come in from the playground and I give them an opportunity to either rest or take a break. Several of my students enjoy hands on activities and thrive off of the tactile input. One activity that I have built upon is incorporating tools into my sensory bins. One of my bins is filled with kinetic sand and students get to use shovels and scoops which works on fine motor skills. My students love this time during the day and I feel that it helps them to regulate themselves and ease the transition back into the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1742565030657,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-support-learning-styles/9135242/","projectTitle":"Tools to Support Learning Styles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily Mar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9627654"},{"teacherId":4041706,"projectId":9590885,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and believing in the power of social-emotional learning. Your generosity has brought meaningful tools that have helped my students feel more confident identifying and expressing their emotions. Every day, I have children requesting to utilize our \"Calm Corner\" to help them identify and manage their feelings while sitting comfortably in the chairs and utilizing the variety of materials to help them.\r\n\r\nThe plush emotion toys, posters, and storybooks you helped provide have quickly become an essential part of our classroom. Students use the Pineapple-Deluxe and Big Feeling Carrot sets to show how they're feeling to help them express their feelings. The \"A Little Spot of Emotion\" plushies and the \"Fill a Bucket\" storytelling materials have encouraged even my quietest students to open up, share their experiences, and connect emotionally with their peers. These resources are helping them build emotional vocabulary, practice empathy, and understand that all feelings are okay.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is becoming a safer, calmer, and more connected community. My students are learning not only how to regulate their emotions, but are also communicating kindly, and support one another. They are using the calming strategies to help themselves and their friends not only in the classroom, but in other places in the school as well. These are skills that will serve them far beyond this school year, and I am deeply grateful that you chose to invest in their growth. Thank you for helping create a space where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.","fullyFundedDate":1756095082808,"projectUrl":"project/helping-little-hearts-feel-big-peace/9590885/","projectTitle":"Helping Little Hearts Feel Big Peace","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4041706"},{"teacherId":9627654,"projectId":9123664,"letterContent":"My students are utilizing these new resources during our sensory time each day.
