Your generosity has made such a meaningful difference in the way we are able to support our students throughout the school day. \r\n\r\nThe materials we received have given our students access to a variety of tactile, visual, and calming sensory experiences. The bubble tube has quickly become a favorite, providing students with a calming visual activity and a quiet way to regulate when they are feeling overwhelmed. The different textured materials and fidgets allow students to explore sensory input and purposeful way while developing self-awareness and learning which strategies help their bodies feel more regulated. \r\n\r\nWe've also been able to incorporate the materials into fine motor activities, visual motor activities, and opportunities to identify and communicate emotions. Having a variety of choices available is especially important because every student response to sensory input differently. Instead of having a one-size -fits-all approach, we can now offer students individualized options based on what their bodies need in that moment. \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us create a space where every child can feel supported, regulated, and ready to succeed!","fullyFundedDate":1777984999206,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-breathe-focus-the-ot-calming/10086677/","projectTitle":"Wiggle, Breathe, Focus - The OT Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mikayla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10010778_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754052130611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010778"},{"teacherId":9437495,"projectId":10156775,"letterContent":"For those of us who are avid readers it may be difficult to comprehend why some students are \"reluctant readers.\" Among the myriad of reasons, one is a lack of books that interest them. \r\n\r\nYour generous donations allowed me to choose books for my classroom library that I knew were high interest and appealing to 5th graders who may not read for pleasure. When the boxes of books arrived, my students watched with anticipation as I opened each one. They couldn't wait to see what surprises awaited them, as I had been hyping up their arrival without giving away which titles I had chosen. \r\n\r\nNot only will my 2025-2026 school year students benefit, but innumerable children will be able to enjoy the books for years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1773859132283,"projectUrl":"project/fill-my-bookshelves/10156775/","projectTitle":"Fill My Bookshelves!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ortenzio Underwood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9437495"},{"teacherId":9867176,"projectId":9949008,"letterContent":"Our students were so excited when the new materials arrived! Seeing the architect building sets, first responder figurines, and puzzles immediately sparked their curiosity. They couldn't wait to open everything and begin exploring.\r\n\r\nThe architect sets have given students the opportunity to design and build their own houses while practicing problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking. As they build, they discuss what makes a home strong, safe, and functional. The first responder figurines have inspired imaginative play where students work together to create community scenarios, learning about the important roles firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other helpers play in keeping us safe. The puzzles have become a favorite center activity, helping students strengthen their critical thinking, perseverance, and cooperation skills.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite moments was watching students proudly show off the homes they designed and explain why they included certain features. It was wonderful to see them using their imaginations while applying what they've learned about communities and teamwork.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue using these resources in our classroom centers and small-group lessons. Students will expand their building projects, create their own community layouts, and use the first responder figures to act out real-world situations while practicing communication and problem-solving. The puzzles will continue to challenge students as they build confidence and strengthen important academic and social skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and making these meaningful learning experiences possible.

When the students first saw the giant boxes arrive, they could hardly contain their curiosity. As we unpacked the items together, a chorus of cheers erupted—especially for the Homguava memory foam bean bag chair and the vibrant, colorful Sunee dry erase sleeves. For my students, opening these boxes felt like a celebration, and it immediately showed them that someone out in the world deeply cares about their education and classroom environment.\r\nMoving forward, these materials are serving as the backbone for our daily preparation for the upcoming Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (F.A.S.T.) exams. Our next step is to use the reusable pocket sleeves for peer-review formatting workshops, allowing students to slide in sample writing prompts, annotate them with their fine-tip markers, and wipe them clean to pass to a classmate. Thanks to your incredible generosity, my fifth graders aren't just practicing essential reading and testing skills—they are doing so with modern, sustainable tools that make learning feel interactive, organized, and deeply rewarding.

They are able to learn how to use technology to help them gain valuable skills in the classroom.
