It means our young students will start and end their school days with a sense of order, comfort, and belonging. Having individual cubbies will give them a safe, organized space for their belongings and help create a calmer, more structured classroom environment. No more bending coat rods or falling backpacks! Just a smooth, (safe!) peaceful routine that sets them up for success every day.\r\n\r\nIn early childhood education, even the smallest things—like a safe place to hang your jacket and bookbag and to store your lunchbox and stuffy—can make a big difference. These lockers will not only reduce clutter but will also encourage independence, responsibility, and pride in their space. It's truly incredible how a practical resource like this can have such a meaningful impact!\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom, in our kids, and in the power of small changes that lead to big growth. We can't wait to share pictures and updates now that the lockers are in place!","fullyFundedDate":1750682575498,"projectUrl":"project/lockers-for-littles/9257645/","projectTitle":"Lockers for Littles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trimnell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6958267_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763440878834","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/trimnell-prek"},{"teacherId":9911752,"projectId":9215152,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. The sensory area additions have allowed my students a place to explore and to burn off some energy. They love jumping from the trampoline to the crash pad and taking turns exploring the giant tunnel. The additions of the touch lights and sequin fabric have created a way for them to explore using their sense of touch. \r\n\r\nThe kids were so excited when they first saw all of the materials, they couldn't wait to get started playing. The crash pad is also a great addition for them to decompress when they need a moment to themselves. They can also be used as transition motivators and indoor recess items. So all of the items serve a multiple purposes within the room. \r\n\r\nAll of the materials are also used when the weather is bad and we are unable to go outside. They provide a way to burn off energy during indoor play. They can be a part of an obstacle course or simply stand alone activities! We focus a lot on developing our sensory exploration and creating an environment where they can try new things! \r\n\r\nThese items also help overcome fear of new things and anxiety over change. One of my students was afraid of the tunnel at first, but after they saw their peers exploring they had to try it. It is now their favorite thing to explore in the room and they use it daily! \r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generous donation to my classroom! It has made a world of difference to myself and the students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786108452,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-create-a-sensory-area/9215152/","projectTitle":"Help Us Create a Sensory Area!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rohrman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9911752"},{"teacherId":9401216,"projectId":8903076,"letterContent":"Our class has be LOVING our new sensory friendly seating.
