One of the highlights of our program was the opportunity for students to create their own sock monkeys. This project allowed them to practice following directions, develop fine motor skills, express their creativity, and experience the pride of creating something with their own hands. The excitement and sense of accomplishment they felt when completing their sock monkeys was truly priceless.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your support gave students opportunities to build confidence, develop friendships, and create positive memories in a safe and enriching environment.

We'll change out the words for the lower grades as they practice new sight words, kindergarten will be practicing their letters and sounds to guide their robot to the correct location, upper grade students will also be using the mazes to practice sequencing with block coding on their devices like Sphero Bolt+.\r\nIt's satisfying to see the students get excited again especially when they are able to use new materials.

You can see them light up as they use all the pieces and call over their friends to show them. The art dotters have become an added decorative tool they use. They spell their names out, make designs or create pictures with them. These small added things to our classroom are appreciated.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to create a dedicated calm down center with a sensory play mat and soft play equipment—an addition that has already made a meaningful difference for our students.\r\n\r\nOur students, who are bright and curious learners, often need extra support to regulate their emotions and sensory needs. Since introducing this new space, we have seen noticeable improvements in their ability to manage those challenges. The calm down center provides a safe, inviting area where students can go to decompress, explore movement, and engage with sensory materials in a purposeful way.\r\n\r\nWe have observed a decrease in meltdowns and classroom disruptions, as students now have a structured and supportive option when they begin to feel overwhelmed. More importantly, they are beginning to use the space proactively—choosing to take breaks, practice calming strategies, and return to learning with greater focus and readiness.\r\n\r\nThis space has also created meaningful opportunities to teach and reinforce essential skills such as identifying emotions, self-soothing, and building independence. Students are becoming more aware of their needs and are gaining confidence in managing them, which is a huge step in their overall development.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped us create a more inclusive and responsive classroom environment where every child feels safe, supported, and capable of success. The impact of this project goes far beyond the materials—it is empowering our students with lifelong skills that will continue to benefit them both inside and outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for making such a positive difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1772048247030,"projectUrl":"project/calming-center-for-preschool-special-edu/10110672/","projectTitle":"Calming Center for Preschool Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arzadon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8499965_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1665603786223","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8499965"},{"teacherId":6747875,"projectId":10110922,"letterContent":"We were so low on supplies and Donors Choose really took care of us.
