With the help of these resources, students are learning how to manage their emotions, reduce frustration, and follow routines independently. This has created a calmer, more focused learning environment where every student can engage more fully with their lessons and participate with confidence.\r\nThese sensory tools also allow me to provide individualized support for each student. By meeting their unique needs, I can focus on teaching and helping them reach academic goals while supporting their social and emotional growth. Students are gaining independence, self-regulation skills, and the confidence to tackle challenges throughout the day.\r\nThanks to this project, my classroom has become a place where learning and growth happen more smoothly for everyone. Students are thriving academically, socially, and emotionally, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to provide them with these essential tools.","fullyFundedDate":1760020653387,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-behavioral-support-through-sen/9757670/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Behavioral Support through Sensory Tools: Promoting Regulation and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salerno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10263113"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2313","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":412,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.4,"schoolId":2313,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southport Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southport Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/brunswick-county-school-district/southport-elementary-school/2313"}
