The spinner chairs were the first thing they noticed, and they immediately began taking turns using them. These chairs have been a wonderful addition as they provide sensory support and have allowed more students to visit our classroom to take breaks and self-regulate in a calm and engaging way. It has created a more inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic letters and sentence strips have brought new energy to our small-group reading time. Students who used to shy away from reading now eagerly participate because they can manipulate the letters, build words, and physically move pieces around to show their thinking. The large Pop-Its have been an even bigger hit because they have turned word blending and segmenting practice into a game the whole group looks forward to. Hearing my students laugh and cheer while learning has been such a joy.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these materials will continue to play a key role in our literacy lessons and sensory breaks. The students are building confidence in their reading skills and learning how to self-regulate using the tools you made possible. Thank you for helping create a space where learning is hands-on, meaningful, and fun for every child who walks through our door.","fullyFundedDate":1753104764969,"projectUrl":"project/a-welcoming-calm-classroom-for-all-abil/9416899/","projectTitle":"A Welcoming, Calm Classroom for All Abilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9086700_orig.jpg?crop=993,993,x0,y370&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688000063548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ttaylor"},{"teacherId":772171,"projectId":9248547,"letterContent":"Thank you more than words can say for your donation towards purchasing the items I was able to purchase for my students.

Then they practice applying that knowledge in the decodable books that were purchased with this project. Students think the books are funny, and they enjoy reading them.
