We can take manipulative from the bins and move them and magnify them so everyone can see. It is fabulous. \r\n\r\nThe projector is for station time and it can display rotations or a differentiated mini lesson while the smart is being used for a station.

It means the world to me that you want to help better their education.\r\n\r\nThe green sensory sock has been a favorite of one of the kids. He is able to get inside it and get the sensory input to help with regulation.\r\n\r\nThe new communication books help promote core words. They also help spread awareness to others about how our students communicate. \r\n\r\nThe fan and bubble machine are able to be converted to a switch activation so we can work on cause and effect. How fun is that?!?\r\n\r\nThe bouncy feet and peanut ball allow for alerting activities. They are great tools to have in the room so we don't have to trek across school to the sensory room. \r\n\r\nAll the fun brithday surprises have been bagged and are ready to go when a student has a brithday!\r\n\r\nThanks again for all the support!","fullyFundedDate":1753885707496,"projectUrl":"project/wiggles-words-and-woo-hoos/9501492/","projectTitle":"Wiggles, Words, and Woo-Hoos!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peppers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3052658_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719426967034","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/e-peppers"},{"teacherId":3052658,"projectId":9055371,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and students.
