Your generosity has given my students tools that truly make a difference in how they feel and function throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, the classroom can sometimes feel overwhelming. The weighted lap animals have become a wonderful source of comfort and support. One student uses a weighted animal almost every day because it helps him feel grounded, calm, and better able to focus on his learning.\r\n\r\nThe noise-canceling headphones have also been incredibly helpful. Several students use them regularly, especially when noises become too much or they begin to feel overwhelmed. I love seeing my students recognize what they need and independently choose a tool that helps them regulate and return to learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students have access to resources that help them feel safer, calmer, and more successful at school. These tools are not just classroom supplies—they are supports that help my students get through difficult moments and feel confident in meeting their own needs.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and for helping me create a classroom where they can feel safe, supported, focused, and ready to learn. Your kindness truly means more than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1778262222852,"projectUrl":"project/hugs-headphones-helping-students-feel/10242838/","projectTitle":"Hugs & Headphones: Helping Students Feel Safe and Focused","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Armitage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4379336_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1490742950136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-armitage"},{"teacherId":4379336,"projectId":9912692,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping provide incentives to celebrate our students' achievements! Your generosity has made such a positive difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe use our reward charts every day. Students earn stickers for meeting expectations, working hard, making good choices, and reaching their goals. They are always so excited when they earn enough stickers to choose a reward from either our small prize box or our large prize box.\r\n\r\nThe glitter putty, sequined keychains, scented pencil erasers, mini memo pads, and other fun incentives have been a huge hit with our students. The storage containers have also helped us keep our incentives organized and easy for students to see when they are choosing their rewards.\r\n\r\nThese may seem like small items, but to our students they are a big celebration of their hard work and accomplishments. They provide motivation, encourage positive behavior, and help our students feel proud of the progress they are making.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and helping us celebrate their big achievements.

The items you provided have had a tremendous and meaningful impact on my students, especially within our calm-down area. This space has become an essential part of our classroom environment, and I want to share how your support has truly changed the way many of my students navigate their emotions, self-regulate, and return to learning successfully.\r\n\r\nSince adding the donated items, I have seen remarkable positive changes in several students who previously struggled with managing frustration, anxiety, or overstimulation. We now have two designated calm-down spots, which has helped eliminate wait times and given students a sense of ownership over the space. Many of my students voluntarily choose to visit the calm-down area before small issues escalate, demonstrating improved self-awareness and emotional insight. This alone has created a more peaceful learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nTwo of the most beloved items are the weighted bear and the Boomba. Students love using the weighted bear because it provides calming pressure that helps them feel grounded and secure. I have students who request the weighted bear daily, especially during moments of transition or after returning from specials or recess. The Boomba has become another student favorite; its texture and gentle vibration create a soothing sensory experience that helps students reset quickly. Several students who once needed long breaks to regain focus are now able to return to classwork in just a few minutes because these tools give them the support they need in the moment. Again thank you for Your support as it has truly made a meaningful difference in their school day.","fullyFundedDate":1746656452142,"projectUrl":"project/calm-down-corner-for-a-special-needs-cla/9056114/","projectTitle":"Calm Down Corner For A Special Needs Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Armitage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4379336_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1490742950136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-armitage"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122185","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":36,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":38,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":19,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":28.7,"schoolId":122185,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bryant Opportunity Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bryant Opportunity Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/wichita-public-schools/bryant-opportunity-academy-opens-fall-2018-/122185"}
