The new sensory tools, fidgets, and flexible seating have already become part of our daily routine in both the BEACH and BREATHE programs. My students grabbed onto the materials immediately — the rocking chair supports, the fidgets, the theraputty — and it's been incrediblbe watching them figure out what works for their bodies and attention.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest changes I've noticed is how much smoother transitions have become. A couple of my kids who normally need lots of prompting now walk right over, grab a fidget, and settle in without the back-and-forth. It has made sessions calmer, faster to start, and honestly just more productive for everyone.\r\n\r\nNext up, I'm building individual sensory kits for students who need consistent support throughout the day so they can take these tools with them across classrooms. Your donations didn't just buy stuff — you helped me rebuild my therapy materials from scratch, and my students are already benefiting from it.","fullyFundedDate":1760410903160,"projectUrl":"project/rebuilding-calm-sensory-tools-for-focus/9732824/","projectTitle":"Rebuilding Calm: Sensory Tools for Focused, Happy Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lindsay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270495"},{"teacherId":3697809,"projectId":9869530,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for fully funding our classroom project and providing a variety of healthy and filling snacks for our students.
