The soft lights and gentle bubbles instantly captured my students' attention. We use the bubble tube as part of our sensory corner, where students can relax, refocus, and build self-regulation skills. It has also become a valuable tool during small-group time, helping students engage in calming sensory experiences before transitioning into more structured learning activities.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a student who typically has difficulty engaging during group time sit quietly, mesmerized by the lights, and begin naming the colors as they changed. The bubble tube has created a shared space for students to explore, communicate, and connect in new ways.\r\nAs we move forward, we plan to incorporate the bubble tube into our lessons about emotions and mindfulness. Students will learn to use the tube as a visual and sensory cue for calming strategies, helping them identify and manage their feelings more independently. Thanks to this generous donation, our classroom is a brighter, calmer, and more inclusive space for every student to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1746804762651,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-lamp-for-sensory-classroom/9108113/","projectTitle":"Sensory Lamp for Sensory Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hansbury","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8943504"},{"teacherId":178932,"projectId":8284776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation toward wiggle furniture!
