The wobble seats and noise cancelling headphones have absolutely been a lifesaver for some of my kiddos. Loud assemblies, a noisy cafeteria, or even the daily buzz of the classroom is overstimulating for some students and the noise cancelling headphones have been used many times. I have also shared them with other kindergarten teachers when they have needed them. The wobble seats provide students who need extra movement input with a chance to sit in their seats but still find movement that soothes them.\r\n\r\nCrayons and dry erase markers are in constant use. I just finished up the blue dry erase markers this spring! That was definitely a lasting impact! The large box of traditional crayons made replacing a lost crayon much easier and the \"colors of the world\" crayons are still in use and will likely last through the upcoming school year.","fullyFundedDate":1660095176800,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-and-school-supplies/6405295/","projectTitle":"Sensory and School Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hacker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5968784_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y33&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624377730209","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5968784"},{"teacherId":232555,"projectId":8887664,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for our four sets of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

I'm still teaching them to use them as chairs and not as play items during our large group meetings but I think in time, these will be a favorite seating option. The bumpy texture of the donut seats helps meet some of my students' tactile sensory seeking needs, and the way the seats allow students to wobble back and forth help with some of their proprioceptive needs.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to get ready for their transitions to kindergarten.
