Each student knows exactly where to find and return their supplies, which not only saves valuable instructional time but also teaches responsibility and organizational skills. \r\n\r\nThe inclusion of social-emotional learning toys and liquid sensory viewer toys has positively transformed the learning atmosphere. These resources give students opportunities to self-regulate, manage emotions, and take calming breaks when needed. The sensory toys, in particular, provide a healthy outlet for students to refocus their energy. Together, these resources foster independence, promote emotional well-being, and enhance both the learning and social experiences of my kindergarten students.","fullyFundedDate":1746704677890,"projectUrl":"project/pause-and-be-calm/9028060/","projectTitle":"Pause and Be Calm","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3417081_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689290859536","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3417081"},{"teacherId":659626,"projectId":9183203,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support and kindness for our classroom. The musical instruments are a wonderful addition to our classroom music center.

The Tonie Boxes are a great way for our students to learn new stories with a different kind of technology. We have many options to work on different themes and to have new ways of learning. \r\n\r\nOur students especially love the little figures that the Tonie Boxes use. They like to pick out the characters and they love to experience the stories that they tell through the boxes. We are very happy that the Tonie Boxes are very durable.

This provides a captivating and calming sensory experience for them. \r\n\r\nThe calming shoulder pad with the red dog is great for our students to improve their focus and concentration. We have new students with Autism and sensory needs and they just love the cute little dog on their shoulders, to help them stay on task. \r\n\r\nThe Watch-It-Roll Calming Tube is great for the students to flip and see the little red balls go up and down. It's a great edition to our calming area. It seems to work with them to watch the balls spiral down and around.
