Because of you, my students now have access to sensory fidgets, early learning games, and sensory supports that are making a meaningful difference in our day-to-day learning.\r\n\r\nWe are using these new resources throughout the school day to help students stay focused, calm, and engaged. The sensory fidgets have been especially helpful during lessons and transitions, allowing students to regulate their energy and attention while still participating fully. The early learning games have become a favorite during small-group time, where students practice important skills like counting, matching, and problem-solving in a hands-on and joyful way. The sensory supports have also created a more inclusive environment, helping students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. Their eyes lit up as they explored the new tools, and they couldn't wait to try everything out. One student said, \"This helps my hands feel calm,\" while another eagerly asked if we could use the games every day. Seeing their enthusiasm and confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly enhanced our classroom and supported my students both academically and emotionally. Thank you for believing in them and for helping create a learning environment where every child can succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1760321321208,"projectUrl":"project/shaping-little-minds-with-kindness-lov/9495714/","projectTitle":"Shaping Little Minds With Kindness & Love","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jessica","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10091451"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55429","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":413,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":55429,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nicholson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nicholson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/cobb-county-school-district/nicholson-elementary-school/55429"}
