The day your donation arrived felt like a holiday in our Special Education Pre-K classroom. The excitement was contagious—our little learners lit up with smiles, gasps, and lots of happy jumping as we opened the boxes. They couldn't believe all these amazing new materials were just for them!\r\nThe impact of the art supplies, liquid sensory tiles, bikes, toy car, stepping stones, balance beams and so many amazing items, has been immediate and profound. Our students are using the sensory tiles during morning arrival to help with transitions into the classroom—it's now a calming routine that sets a positive tone for the day. The vibrant art supplies have unlocked new ways for our students to express themselves, especially those who are nonverbal or have limited language. One student, who usually hesitates to participate, confidently painted a picture and proudly showed it off to the class. It was a moment that brought tears to our eyes.\r\nWe also introduced a weekly \"Movement Monday\" where students rotate through gross motor stations using the bikes, balance beams, and stepping stones. These activities have become a favorite, helping students build strength, balance, and confidence—all while having fun. One student who previously avoided physical play now eagerly zooms around on the bike and cheers for his classmates. It's been beautiful to watch them grow socially and physically through play.\r\nYour donation has made our classroom more inclusive, engaging, and joyful. Thank you for believing in our students and giving them the tools to thrive.\r\nWith endless gratitude,\r\n Erica Blatherwick\r\n Supply Elementary\r\n Special Education Pre-K","fullyFundedDate":1734978961271,"projectUrl":"project/gross-motor-and-sensory-play/8931230/","projectTitle":"Gross Motor and Sensory Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Erica","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9830924"},{"teacherId":5479228,"projectId":8687434,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity and support of our sensory classroom project through DonorsChoose. Thanks to your contribution, our students now have access to an enriching, inclusive learning environment tailored to their unique needs.\r\n\r\nSensory classrooms are essential for students with autism, ADHD, or other developmental and learning differences. They provide a space where students can calm their minds, regulate their emotions, and engage in activities that promote sensory development. Your donation has made it possible for us to provide the necessary tools and resources—such as tactile toys, calming lighting, sound-mitigating headphones, and interactive sensory materials—that are critical for our students' growth and success.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support is profound. The sensory materials will not only help our students manage sensory overload but will also encourage them to focus, engage, and learn in ways that are comfortable and effective for them. The classroom is now a space where students feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore their potential. You've made a lasting difference in their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1726167779249,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-oasis/8687434/","projectTitle":"Sensory Oasis","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lokken","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5479228_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533134266017","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misspace"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2314","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":567,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.2,"schoolId":2314,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Supply Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Supply Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/brunswick-county-school-district/supply-elementary-school/2314"}
