Thanks to your support, we now have an impact magnetic board, a cube chair, and a sensory sock—three resources that are already transforming the way our students learn, feel, and grow each day.\r\n\r\nIn our special needs kindergarten classroom, we focus on creating a safe, engaging, and supportive space where every child can thrive at their own pace. Each item you helped provide is being used with intention and purpose:\r\n\r\nThe impact magnetic board has become one of our students' favorite tools. We use it during small group lessons, independent centers, and even therapy sessions. The hands-on, visual nature of magnetic learning supports many of our students who are working on fine motor skills, visual processing, and letter or number recognition. It brings learning to life in a way that textbooks or paper can't.\r\n\r\nThe cube chair is a game-changer for our kids who need extra support to stay seated and focused. Some of our students struggle with body awareness and need defined spaces to feel secure. The cube chair provides that structure while still being fun and comfortable. It gives them the confidence to participate more actively in circle time, reading groups, and play-based learning.\r\n\r\nThe sensory sock is another powerful tool that we now use daily. Several of our students have sensory processing challenges, and the sensory sock allows them to feel safe, calm, and grounded. Whether it's during a quiet break or as part of a sensory regulation routine, it's helping them manage big feelings and return to learning with a sense of control and peace.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped us meet our students where they are—emotionally, physically, and academically. Every day, we see small victories: a child staying regulated longer, using their words to express a feeling, engaging more confidently in a group activity. These moments might seem small, but they're huge steps forward for our kids.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for choosing to invest in their growth. You are not just funding supplies—you are helping build confidence, joy, and the foundation for lifelong learning.","fullyFundedDate":1750693303493,"projectUrl":"project/seating-spelling-and-sensory-support/9421540/","projectTitle":"\"Seating, Spelling, and Sensory Support: Enhancing Learning for All\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maraglino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9828932"},{"teacherId":9828932,"projectId":9421447,"letterContent":"Since this is my first experience, I am truly grateful.Thank you so much.
