Because of your support, we were able to create a fully equipped sensory space designed to serve students experiencing anxiety, sensory overload, or difficulty sustaining attention. The funds you provided allowed us to purchase bubble tanks, crash pads, soundproof paneling, fiber optic lights, fidgets, social-emotional learning books, and other essential tools that help students regulate their bodies and emotions. This space was thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, calming environment where students can reset and return to learning, ready to succeed.\r\n\r\nWhen our students and teachers first saw the completed sensory room, their excitement was immediate and heartfelt. For many of our highest support-need students, this space represents more than just a room—it is a place where they feel understood, supported, and empowered. We have already observed measurable differences in student regulation, decreased time spent in crisis, and improved ability to re-engage in instruction after using the space.\r\n\r\nYour investment directly supports our students' emotional well-being and academic access. On behalf of our students, staff, and families, thank you for helping us create an environment where every child has the tools they need to feel grounded, safe, and ready to learn. Your generosity truly changes lives.","fullyFundedDate":1764606394693,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-space-to-feel-sensory-tools-for/9897426/","projectTitle":"A Safe Space to Feel: Sensory Tools for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-coles"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72877","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":315,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":72877,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abbot Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abbot Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/ann-arbor-public-school-district/abbot-elementary-school/72877"}
