Students have loved getting to use the sensory table and the materials stored in the shelf. When the table isn't being used as a sensory space, it is used as a gathering spot for playing games, Legos and other small group work. \r\n\r\nStudents (and teachers) were so excited to see what I was building! My door is usually open, so students got to see me setting up the table and shelf. There were lots of questions about what the new furniture is for, so I explained they are tools to give students (and grown ups) space to calm down and process what's going on in their lives. Then there were lots of questions about when students could come see me!\r\n\r\nIt is used every day and has helped so many students all ready. I am eager to use the sensory table in my practice more, and incorporate more sensory experiences into my small group lessons. I am excited to try new materials and learn more about how to meet the sensory needs of my students. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your support. You've made this possible for my students and school.","fullyFundedDate":1737407279748,"projectUrl":"project/therapeutic-sensory-engagement/8760067/","projectTitle":"Therapeutic Sensory Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bubb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4627784_orig.jpg?crop=706,706,x163,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726006228900","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4627784"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77774","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":165,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":31.2,"schoolId":77774,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/ferguson-florissant-school-district-r2/central-elementary-school/77774"}
