Your generous donation of vibrating oral input toys, a vibrating ball, saddle rocking stools, and vibrating pens has helped meet the sensory needs of children ages 3–6 across our self-contained, blended, and general education classrooms. These tools give students safer, more appropriate ways to get the input they seek and support them in feeling comfortable in their bodies and ready to learn. I was able to observe this as they engaged in play doh letter building and did not mouth the dough, stayed in large group while on the rocking stools, and created beautiful art with the pens and LCD writing tablets.\r\n\r\nThe vibrating oral input toys provide an appropriate alternative to mouthing classroom materials, while the vibrating ball offers sensory input during play and supported breaks while encouraging socialization with peers. The saddle rocking stools allow students to move while participating in classroom activities, and the vibrating pens bring sensory feedback to drawing and early writing experiences. Together, these resources help students explore what supports their regulation, making everyday activities such as joining classmates, using classroom tools, and communicating their needs more accessible.\r\n\r\nYour kindness supports much more than the purchase of classroom materials—it helps create opportunities for participation, independence, and joyful learning. Thank you for helping our young learners feel supported and for making our classrooms places where every child has the opportunity to thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1791374170321,"projectUrl":"project/small-bodies-that-need-big-input-to-lear/10590109/","projectTitle":"Small Bodies That Need Big Input to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heather","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3333582"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26376","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":181,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":26,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - K","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":32.8,"schoolId":26376,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elizabeth Meyer School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elizabeth Meyer School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/skokie-school-district-73-1-2/elizabeth-meyer-school/26376"}
