Students are now able to engage in hands-on, tactile learning experiences that help them focus, regulate emotions, and manage stress. These materials support students with diverse learning needs by providing alternative ways to explore concepts, build fine motor skills, and practice self-regulation strategies.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the sensory tools, we've noticed an increase in student engagement, attention, and participation. Students are calmer and more ready to learn, which positively affects the entire classroom environment. These resources have not only supported academic growth but have also fostered social-emotional development, helping students feel more confident, included, and capable of handling challenges.\r\n\r\nThanks to this donation, our classroom has become a more inclusive, supportive, and dynamic learning space where every student can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1723468174314,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-ready-for-the-new-school-year/8581279/","projectTitle":"Sensory Ready for the New School Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Janus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3313286_orig.png?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598641522679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3313286"},{"teacherId":3313286,"projectId":6731882,"letterContent":"We are so incredibly grateful for your generous donation to our classroom!

The students were thrilled to see all the new materials—fresh notebooks, markers, and organization tools that make learning both fun and accessible.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have already had a big impact. Students are more eager to participate, take pride in their work, and collaborate with one another. Having the right tools allows them to focus on learning instead of worrying about what they don't have. It's been inspiring to watch their confidence and creativity grow with each new activity.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly set the tone for a successful school year.

Many of our students come to school each day facing challenges that extend beyond academics, and having a comfortable, supportive pair of shoes has made a noticeable difference.

The smiles, excitement, and gratitude were genuine and heartwarming.

Students choose books that interest them, and because the characters and stories feel relevant, they are more motivated to engage. This time also gives me the chance to confer with students individually, guiding them toward strategies that make reading more accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nOne student who previously avoided reading has now been eagerly working through a graphic novel series, often asking if she can borrow the next book to take home. Another student has started sharing daily connections between his book and his own life experiences, which has sparked rich discussions with classmates.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided books but also opened doors for students to grow as readers, thinkers, and lifelong learners.
