It helps make lessons more engaging, keeps students focused, and allows them to use technology as a tool to support their learning and independence.\r\n\r\nMy students are most excited about being able to use the new technology themselves. They love having something interactive that makes learning feel more fun and gives them opportunities to participate in ways beyond traditional paper-and-pencil activities.\r\n\r\nI have especially noticed students who sometimes struggle with staying focused or getting started on assignments warming up to the technology. Having an interactive tool helps capture their attention and encourages them to participate, take ownership of their work, and feel more confident in their learning. Seeing their excitement and willingness to engage has been incredibly rewarding!","fullyFundedDate":1786972575763,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-our-classroom-space-to-learn/10392613/","projectTitle":"Power Up Our Classroom: Space to Learn, Create & Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Foltz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8041250_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x4,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651585382003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8041250"},{"teacherId":8041250,"projectId":10197355,"letterContent":"We have already started putting our new resources to good use! My students are using them to create hands-on projects that allow them to be creative while practicing important classroom skills. One of my favorite moments was seeing students excited to use the new materials and take pride in what they created. These resources have made our classroom activities more engaging and given students more opportunities to learn by doing.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited! They were eager to see what we could create and immediately started sharing ideas. Their excitement reminded me how meaningful it is to have new and engaging materials available in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using these resources in upcoming projects and lessons. Students will have opportunities to apply what they are learning, work creatively, and collaborate with their classmates. I am excited to see where their ideas take us and to continue giving them hands-on learning experiences!","fullyFundedDate":1778535442163,"projectUrl":"project/glow-grow/10197355/","projectTitle":"Glow & Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Foltz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8041250_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x4,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651585382003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8041250"},{"teacherId":8041250,"projectId":9986625,"letterContent":"My students have been using the sensory pens, fidgets, and self-regulation tools throughout the day to help them stay focused and engaged. During independent work time, I've already seen a difference. Students who typically struggle with attention are able to work longer and complete more tasks. One moment that stood out was during a writing activity, where several students used the sensory pens to stay calm and organized, allowing them to finish their responses with more confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials were introduced, students were immediately excited and eager to try them out. They quickly found tools that worked best for them and, most importantly, understood their purpose. Many students shared that the items helped them feel calmer and more focused, and they have been using them appropriately as part of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students will continue using these tools to build independence and stamina, especially during reading and writing tasks. These resources are helping them take ownership of their learning by recognizing what they need to be successful.","fullyFundedDate":1769637618523,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success-project/9986625/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Foltz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8041250_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x4,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651585382003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8041250"},{"teacherId":8041250,"projectId":9682865,"letterContent":"The new fidgets and sensory items have already become an essential part of our daily routines. Students use them during independent work time, small-group instruction, and even while transitioning between activities. One memorable moment was during a writing lesson—several students who typically struggle to stay regulated were able to remain focused for the entire activity simply by having access to a quiet sensory tool. It was the calmest, most productive writing block we've had all year.\r\n\r\nThey were thrilled. Many of them immediately identified the items they knew would help them, and several excitedly said, \"These are for us?!\" A few students who are usually hesitant to try new things were eager to explore the textures and tools. The smiles and curiosity were priceless. \r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on building stamina for longer academic tasks and developing self-regulation strategies. These sensory resources will continue to support students as they practice staying engaged during reading and writing lessons. Our next step is teaching students how to independently select and use the sensory tools that best support their needs, helping them grow into more confident, self-aware learners.","fullyFundedDate":1758636499003,"projectUrl":"project/focus-and-flow-funds/9682865/","projectTitle":"Focus and Flow Funds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Foltz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8041250_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x4,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651585382003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8041250"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79201","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":253,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":79201,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wood River Rural Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wood River Rural Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/wood-river-rural-school-district/wood-river-rural-junior-senior-high-school/79201"}
