It really means a lot to me and the students. \r\n\r\nI teach at a small local school and so finding a space for sensory is hard. I do my best in the classroom, but I found that my students were needing more. So, thanks to you, I was able to provide them with that. These bins are not only fun for my students, but it also helps them to calm their bodies before they start a task or after a highly stimulating task. We have seen a decrease in behaviors in the classroom thanks so this project. We have also seen a decrease in their self-regulation. \r\n\r\nThese boxes have truly been fantastic for my kids and again, I thank you greatly. Without you, these kiddos would not be where they are today.","fullyFundedDate":1765981152106,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-bins-for-sensory-seekers/9895430/","projectTitle":"Sensory Bins for Sensory Seekers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scruggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8423377_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650983708484","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8423377"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107807","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":617,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"44.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.0,"schoolId":107807,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dalton Local Elementary Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dalton Local Elementary Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/dalton-local-school-district/dalton-local-elementary-middle-school/107807"}
