Some of our students ask to use the items when they need a break, which is really great to see! We have added these items to our calming corner, which they have enjoyed using. The Bouncy Band Sit & Twist Seat is working out great with a couple of our kids that really had a very hard time sitting at Circle Time. \r\n\r\nOur Kids are learning everyday how to understand their emotions and how they can communicate them to us or how they can use the calming techniques to calm them.","fullyFundedDate":1734544742714,"projectUrl":"project/help-with-emotional-sensory-needs-for/8986851/","projectTitle":"Help With Emotional & Sensory Needs for Our Pei Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jackie Santi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9858055"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124596","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":91.7,"schoolId":124596,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about AIU 3 Preschool Early Intervention Program - Penn on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"AIU 3 Preschool Early Intervention Program - Penn ","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/-county-run-/aiu-3-dart-program-penn-hills/124596"}
