We are using the new resources in a variety of meaningful ways throughout the day. The students especially enjoy the colorful, cozy rug during circle time, which helps them feel comfortable and engaged. The big rocker is used for movement breaks and provides a great option for students who need to move while still staying focused. When students are feeling upset or overwhelmed, they use the bean bags to help regulate and calm their bodies.\r\nThe headphones have also been very helpful when the classroom becomes too loud or overstimulating, allowing students to better manage sensory input and return to learning. My students are loving there new alternative seating and sensory items. It is really helping them regulate to be available for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1757361198222,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-triumph-supporting-our-little/9421247/","projectTitle":"Tools for Triumph: Supporting Our Little Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Menera-Chin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9460149_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750257221877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9460149"},{"teacherId":4810944,"projectId":8869254,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our classroom was able to purchase balance ball chairs.
