The sensory and hands-on materials you provided are helping students regulate their bodies so their brains can fully engage. When the boxes arrived, my students were thrilled—but what moved me most was the visible sense of comfort. One student who often struggles to stay engaged was able to use a tactile support and participate in an entire lesson without disruption. We now use these materials daily during instruction, allowing students to build, model, and explore concepts in concrete ways. As a result, behavioral struggles have decreased, transitions are smoother, and students are more confident and engaged.\r\n\r\nNext, we are teaching students to independently recognize when they need a sensory support and choose tools that help them refocus, building lifelong self-regulation skills. We will also incorporate these hands-on materials into collaborative projects where students apply their learning in active, meaningful ways. Your generosity has created a classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed. Thank you for investing in their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1762362263910,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-and-tactile-supports-to-help-us/9448555/","projectTitle":"Sensory and Tactile Supports to Help Us Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kinney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10072071_orig.png?crop=587,587,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752000595221","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10072071"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94609","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":761,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.8,"schoolId":94609,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cypress Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cypress Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/volusia-county-schools/cypress-creek-elementary-school/94609"}
