The sensory objects were needed and are used daily! \r\n\r\nThe children enjoy using the sensory stress balls while listening to/looking at different read aloud books. I have one student that uses the wobble cushion more on a regular basis but it is free to all students to use. The kinetic sand has been a hit and the students are always going to the class sensory bin to play with the sand and create different objects alongside the tools sent in the package. The brain flakes are engaging and used at least 2x a week during morning play. Brain flakes lets students use their creative mind to make their own creations. \r\n\r\nI cannot wait for more and better projects to create for my class!","fullyFundedDate":1757423365590,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-objects/9678058/","projectTitle":"Sensory Objects","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239443"},{"teacherId":747463,"projectId":9466642,"letterContent":"Thank You so much for donating to this project. We feel fortunate to have received these new headphones to use with IPAD'S and at the Listening Center. The headphones that we had before were broken, old, falling apart, students could hear through only one ear; it was not a good experience when it was time to put on headphones in my classroom. I was constantly having to hear students complain about our headphones. This impeded students to be able to successfully listen to a story with headphones.\r\n This is currently not the situation in my classroom anymore. Since we have received these wonderful new headphones students can listen to a story at the Listening Center, they can also listen to their IPAD. These headphones were very much needed in my classroom and thanks to you I am able to give my students headphones to use during class.","fullyFundedDate":1757534437544,"projectUrl":"project/i-cant-hear/9466642/","projectTitle":"I Can't Hear!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/samalis"},{"teacherId":747463,"projectId":9473584,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating for our new classroom rug.

I worked with multiple small groups, tailoring lessons to meet each student's needs, and saw incredible growth. One powerful example was a student who had been struggling for some time — using the data collected from the program, I was able to advocate for her to receive an IEP. Now she has access to additional classroom supports alongside the structured phonics instruction, setting her up for much greater success.\r\n\r\nStudents enjoyed the hands-on activities and the way words and sentences followed patterns they could decode. The structured, step-by-step approach helped build their confidence, and they began tackling words they would have otherwise skipped or not known how to decode. This coming school year, I'll be using these resources to expand intervention work into more grade levels, reaching even more students who need this type of explicit, supportive instruction. Your donation didn't just make a difference this year — it's creating long-term change for many students to come.
