Although the designated space was small in size, it served a significant purpose by becoming a dedicated area where students could meet their sensory needs in a safe and supportive setting. The students who benefited most from this space were primarily our K–5 autism population, who frequently utilized the room throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThis marked the first time in our school's history that a space was intentionally created to address students' sensory needs. Beyond providing sensory input, the room also functioned as a place for students to practice self-regulation strategies when experiencing heightened emotions or elevated stress levels. By having access to this space, students were able to calm and refocus, enabling them to return to their classrooms better prepared for learning and overall success.","fullyFundedDate":1724221819541,"projectUrl":"project/sensorycalming-room/8677097/","projectTitle":"Sensory/Calming Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9689785_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724253771934","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9689785"},{"teacherId":2865690,"projectId":7532447,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible support, our Rainbow Word Party was a joyful and unforgettable celebration of literacy and learning!

The party created a fun, high-energy atmosphere that reinforced just how rewarding learning can be.\r\n\r\nThe color-coded word system has helped our students build confidence in reading, spelling, and fluency. Many students proudly shared which color list they mastered and cheered on their classmates for their progress. Your donation made it possible to celebrate these milestones in a way that was both meaningful and motivating.

The VR lessons have opened new doors for practicing essential social skills in safe, controlled, and engaging ways. From walking down the hallway and interacting with peers to navigating the cafeteria, these scenarios have given our students, especially those with autism, opportunities to explore and rehearse real-world encounters at their own pace. The immersive experiences help bridge the gap between instruction and application, reinforcing what we teach in a way that truly sticks.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful impacts has been the way VR supports our students in recognizing nonverbal cues and managing social anxiety. By practicing interactions with doctors, police officers, and even classroom routines, students are building confidence and feeling more prepared for real-life situations. It has also become a calming and alerting tool during stressful moments, offering students a positive outlet to self-regulate and refocus.

The joy in the room was contagious!\r\n\r\nThese plush characters have taken our read-aloud sessions to a whole new level. Now, when we dive into a story, students can cuddle, role-play, and interact with the characters, which has helped bring the stories off the pages and into their hearts. One of my favorite moments was watching a small group of students reenact The Very Hungry Caterpillar—taking turns feeding the caterpillar plush as we read through each page. The laughter, engagement, and collaboration were incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nBeyond the fun, these materials are supporting deeper comprehension and developing early literacy skills in meaningful ways. My students are asking more questions, making more connections, and using the plush toys during independent play to retell stories in their own words.
