Introducing the fidget sensory items to my students the first time was a ton of fun. Each student was happy to have options to keep their hands busy, and they have been demonstrating excellent patience and time on task since having new fidgets to help them work. Other items like the Spot of Emotions book have been paired with other classroom resources and tools to help students understand their emotional responses and gauge how they are feelings and what they might be experiencing. It is so rewarding to have these items readily available for students to use whenever necessary.\r\nClassroom staff are thrilled with the schedule and lamination sheets. We have been diligently working to prepare both individual schedules for students to help them with transitions and task work. These visuals also help with incentives and understanding our school routines and changes to schedule.\r\nWe are excited to continue working with these materials and look forward to seeing what skills we can expand on throughout the rest of this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1753642136032,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-fidgets-and-sensory-supplies/9427996/","projectTitle":"Classroom Fidgets and Sensory Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gilbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061759"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67850","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":410,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":67850,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elmer A Knopf Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elmer A Knopf Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/-county-run-/elmer-a-knopf-learning-center/67850"}
