My students have benefited so much from the supplies that came in this order. I have been able to successfully run ELA and Math centers and my students have fun while learning.

Our school year has just begun, but already, I have seen the difference a few nice supplies can do to help our students feel safe and welcomed in our classroom. \r\n\r\nEach morning we start our morning meeting sitting on our new carpet reviewing our day, the expectations and anything special. The students love to pick their favorite color on the carpet which also means they can have a designated spot to sit without worrying about spacing themselves out. We often find ourselves during other parts of the day (reading time, recess, small groups) using our carpet and the cushions to spread around the room and complete our work. The students are also really enjoying the light covers as well as the calming corner kit. The covers on the light provide enough light to keep the classroom bright for work, but not too much that it is harsh and overwhelming for the students. I often find some students looking at the lights and using the calming strips on their desk during quiet time. The calming kit has been a huge help for our students who have needed a little extra support and guidance for what we call \"our big emotions\". The students absolutely love the weighted bear and taking some time to hug it and calm their body.\r\n\r\nGetting the opportunity to provide my students with a safe and sensory friendly environment to learn and grow has meant more to me and my students than you can imagine! In the past, students have complained if I turned on the overhead lights because it was too bright. Now, they love turning them on and seeing the clouds \"in the sky\". We are looking forward to many more days of learning in our calming and sensory friendly classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1748525306095,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-find-peace-and-focus-in/9353470/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Find Peace and Focus in the Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hallquist","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6245498_orig.jpg?crop=1074,1074,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747335572505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6245498"},{"teacherId":9858165,"projectId":9206831,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations and contributions to my students!

The stylus' are being used daily for promoting handwriting skills with the use of ipad apps that make handwriting aquisition fun for students who otherwise have poor participation. \r\n\r\nHaving your support fills my heart with overwhelming thankfulness.
