Thanks to your generosity, I was able to introduce a variety of sensory tools specifically selected to meet the needs of my nonverbal learners. These items, including tactile fidgets, textured cushions, sensory swings, visual stimulation tools, and calming manipulatives, quickly became an essential part of our classroom environment.\r\nFrom the moment the materials arrived, the impact was visible. Several students who often struggled to engage during instruction began to show longer periods of focus when using sensory supports. Learners who previously had difficulty expressing their needs found comfort and regulation through access to the tools, which in turn reduced frustration and increased participation in daily routines. The sensory items also provided opportunities for exploration and play, enabling students to develop fine-motor skills, practice decision-making, and interact more meaningfully with their environment.\r\nOne of the most remarkable changes has been the improvement in students' ability to self-regulate. With calming tools available, students are better able to transition between activities and manage moments of overwhelm. This has created a more peaceful, productive classroom atmosphere where each child feels safer and more in control.\r\nYour support has truly made a difference in the lives of students who often rely on nontraditional pathways to communicate, learn, and connect with the world around them. These sensory materials have not only enhanced their daily learning experiences but have also given them new ways to express themselves, build confidence, and find joy in the classroom.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping create a learning environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758126816856,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-minds-through-sensory-comfort/9366498/","projectTitle":"Supporting Minds Through Sensory Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stroman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7680075"},{"teacherId":9835663,"projectId":9601257,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to support my students! The snacks and water you provided have made an incredible difference in our classroom. Many of my students come to school hungry or are not fond of the packaged meals offered, so having healthy and kid-friendly snacks like applesauce, cereal bars, chips, and fruit snacks has been a game changer. Now, instead of worrying about empty stomachs, they can focus on learning and participating in class discussions with renewed energy.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students saw the boxes of snacks, their faces lit up with excitement and gratitude. They couldn't believe that people who had never met them cared enough to make sure they had what they needed to learn. This has helped improve focus, behavior, and classroom participation—especially during those long morning lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our learning journey, my students are diving into hands-on projects and group activities that require their full attention and energy. Thanks to you, they can do so without being distracted by hunger. Your generosity has not only provided nourishment but has also shown my students the power of kindness and community.

The wipes, deodorant, and lotion have already made a noticeable difference in helping students feel more confident and comfortable as they navigate the changes that come with growing up. When the students first saw the new supplies, many were excited and even a little relieved to know they had access to these personal care items at school. It sparked an honest and important conversation about self-care and hygiene, reminding them that taking care of their bodies is part of taking care of their overall well-being.\r\n\r\nWe've also started using the essential oils in our classroom diffuser, and the impact has been amazing. Since our classroom doesn't have windows, the refreshing scents have made the space feel cleaner, calmer, and more inviting. It's helped create a positive environment where students can focus and feel at ease. As we continue our lessons, we plan to connect these materials to our discussions about health, confidence, and personal growth—encouraging students to develop habits that support both their academic and emotional success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and kindness.

Our new rainbow rug has transformed our classroom into a vibrant and welcoming space. Because our room does not have windows, this burst of color brings energy and light each day. It has become our gathering spot for lessons, discussions, and celebrations, helping scholars feel grounded, calm, and connected to one another.\r\n\r\nI also cannot thank you enough for helping bring our flag football field to life. For our middle schoolers, it has been pure joy, an outlet for teamwork, confidence, and pride. Watching them cheer for one another, practice sportsmanship, and find belonging on the field has been incredible.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a lasting difference in our school community.

This simple yet powerful act of kindness has fostered open discussions about self-care, health, and confidence, creating a more supportive and understanding classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWe are now integrating lessons on wellness and self-advocacy, empowering students to take pride in caring for themselves and their well-being. Your contribution has not only met a physical need but has also encouraged emotional growth, empathy, and community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and helping us create a space where every learner feels seen, supported, and valued.","fullyFundedDate":1757092761782,"projectUrl":"project/female-hygiene/9600569/","projectTitle":"Female Hygiene","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9835663_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y211&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741206151428","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-n-beckford"},{"teacherId":4010356,"projectId":9209400,"letterContent":"When the new materials arrived, my students were immediately filled with excitement and curiosity. The flexible seating has given them the freedom to choose spots where they feel most comfortable and focused, which has transformed the energy in our classroom. I noticed right away that even my more reluctant learners were eager to settle into a cozy chair or stool and engage in their work. One special moment was during reading time, when several students grabbed their favorite seats and proudly shared how the new setup made it easier for them to stay focused and enjoy their books.\r\n\r\nThe rolling dry erase board and handheld boards have been especially helpful during small group instruction. Students love writing their answers and holding them up to share—it gives everyone a chance to participate without the pressure of speaking out loud. The rolling board has made group lessons more interactive, as I can move it closer to each group and guide them through problem-solving together. Moving forward, my students will continue to use these materials during math problem-solving, writing workshops, and literacy centers. The resources have not only brought joy and excitement into our classroom but have also strengthened collaboration and confidence in learning. None of this would have been possible without your generosity, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746787329127,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-and-supplies-for-engagi/9209400/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating and Supplies for Engaging Small Groups in Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4010356_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726706836558","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4010356"},{"teacherId":9836676,"projectId":9207737,"letterContent":"Your generosity made a big impact by allowing my students to feel united as one group.

This opportunity not only gave them the chance to express themselves artistically, but it also allowed them to take pride in their hard work and ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen we began opening the materials, students' faces lit up with pure joy and curiosity. Some gasped in amazement at what the Cricut could produce, while others immediately started brainstorming even more design ideas. Laughter, chatter, and \"oohs\" and \"ahhs\" filled the room as they explored each item. It was inspiring to watch them handle the tools and supplies with care, already envisioning the possibilities.
