Even more so when service providers in our classroom, such as Occupational Therapists and Speech Language Pathologists, also get surprised (in the best way) to have novel engaging activities to use with our kiddos. These bring moments of joy and excitement, keeping us ready to play + learn even as we are spending the last days of this school year together as a classroom family.\r\nThank you so much for your contributions - they mean so much!","fullyFundedDate":1746621131409,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-interactive-sensory-p/9305821/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning: Interactive Sensory Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1660181_orig.png?crop=579,579,x0,y358&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659657642534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lis-moriarty"},{"teacherId":9747568,"projectId":8844636,"letterContent":"My students are enjoying the materials you donated.

I love to watch their imaginations go!\r\n\r\nFive of the students in my class have IEP goals they are working on, mostly involving regulation and social interaction.

All the students were easily engaged by the variety of materials we were given. Some of the biggest hits have been the Shark Bite game and the pretend grill. All of the students were also loving the Juice/Ice dispenser. They love making different juices and adding ice to the cups. We're using this to work on pretend play skills, back-and-forth communication with others, color identification, and counting the ice cubes!\r\n\r\nAnother toy that's been fun to watch students play with is the apple tree toy as we're also able to use this toy for many different areas of development. We are able to focus on following directions, pretend play skills with eating the apples and hiding them, having the apple go down the slide to the basket, identify different colors and numbers on the doors, and take turns.\r\n\r\nWe are also able to work on self-regulation skills by using the ice cube fidgets and the weighted stuffed animal during circle time as well as having them as an option to use as a calming tool. It is always rewarding when you see students start to engage more with materials and stay engaged in play for longer periods of time, and the new materials definitely caused this to happen in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1733255594409,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-learn-through-play/8981936/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Learn Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emma","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6383892_orig.png?crop=420,420,x82,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733159039645","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/emma-horner"},{"teacherId":9812392,"projectId":8896549,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my Donors Choose project.

I've also used them during 1-1 learning times as fun activities to practice color or shape matching. We like playing games and have adapted some of the toys into turn taking games.\r\n\r\nMy students get excited when they find toys that are new to the classroom. The smiles on their face when they find something they enjoy playing with makes my day!
