The wobble cushions and fidget bands have been awesome! Our kiddos have been better able to stay focused throughout the day, while silently getting their wiggles out as needed. The privacy folders have made taking quizzes and tests seamless! I have also loved having the robotic and portable pencil sharpener - it has been a game changer being able to quickly walk around the classroom to sharpen any dull pencils, and the students love using the robot! \r\n\r\nWe are so lucky to have such amazing partners, thank you tons!","fullyFundedDate":1789572251729,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-students-for-sensory-friendly/10622482/","projectTitle":"Equipping Students for Sensory-Friendly Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Roth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4569868_orig.jpg?crop=320,320,x0,y33&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659978429245","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alexaroth"},{"teacherId":9004419,"projectId":10408128,"letterContent":"My students have been working hard in their literacy groups.

All my groups have also been using the bingo daubers to stamp out the sounds they hear in words.\r\nFor example, if the word was jet, the students would stamp three times, one for each sound /j/. /e/ /t/.\r\n I use the astro bright paper to create materials for the students to practice skills that we are working on. (digraphs, vowel teams). The laminating sheets are helpful for making the materials last and the students can also write on them with dry erase markers.\r\n Learning to read does not come easily for most students.
