These aren't just toys—they're essential resources that help our students process sensory input in healthy ways and build the self-regulation skills they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nSince launching this sensory space, we've witnessed remarkable changes:\r\n\r\nImproved Self-Regulation: Students who previously struggled with overwhelming emotions now have concrete strategies to calm themselves and refocus. A few minutes with kinetic sand or a quick trampoline break helps them return to learning ready to participate\r\n\r\nReduced Stress and Anxiety: Our youngest learners, especially those with special needs, have safe, appropriate outlets for stress relief. They're learning to recognize when they need a sensory break and advocate for themselves.\r\n\r\nFrom our students, our staff, and our entire Keystone Elementary community, thank you for believing in the power of sensory support and inclusive education.","fullyFundedDate":1779319263955,"projectUrl":"project/sensational-sensory-stimulation/10252053/","projectTitle":"Sensational Sensory Stimulation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10419020"},{"teacherId":10419020,"projectId":10252070,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our classroom at Keystone Elementary School. Your investment in essential learning materials has made a real difference for our Pre-K through 2nd grade students.\r\n\r\nThrough your funding, we were able to provide glue, scissors, construction paper, laminating sheets, pencils, and folders for our young learners. These fundamental supplies have directly benefited our students across all core subjects and special education, giving every child the tools they need to participate fully in daily learning.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these materials, we have seen:\r\n\r\nStudents confidently practicing fine motor skills through cutting, gluing, and creating\r\nIncreased engagement during hands-on art projects, collages, and group activities\r\nMore opportunities for creative expression and exploration of ideas\r\nEnhanced ability to provide differentiated, tactile learning experiences for all learners, including our special education students\r\nEvery child able to participate equally, regardless of their family's resources\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and ensuring that every child has access to the materials they need to learn, grow, and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1787315792973,"projectUrl":"project/creative-hands-generous-hearts/10252070/","projectTitle":"Creative Hands-Generous Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10419020"},{"teacherId":10419020,"projectId":10060940,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding headphones for Chromebooks in the early childhood special education classroom at Keystone Elementary School in Croydon, Pennsylvania. Your thoughtful gift gives our First and second-grade students a simple, meaningful way to feel more comfortable and connected as they learn\r\n\r\nFor some young learners, classroom sounds can make it difficult to focus. Headphones help reduce distracting background noise and sensory overload, creating a calmer space for students to engage with lessons at their own pace.\r\n\r\nWith headphones, students can also use their Chromebooks for individualized instruction—including educational apps, speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools, and multimedia lessons. They can practice communication and social skills using language and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) apps more privately, without disrupting classmates.\r\n\r\nThese headphones do more than make audio easier to hear. They help students take part, practice new skills, and build confidence in ways that work for them. Over time, those experiences can support greater independence and help lay a strong foundation for future learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a partner in supporting young learners with diverse needs. Your generosity helps make our classroom a place where every child has more opportunity to participate, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1774899689368,"projectUrl":"project/are-you-listening-unleashing-the-power/10060940/","projectTitle":"Are You Listening?-Unleashing the Power of Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10419020"},{"teacherId":10419020,"projectId":10060906,"letterContent":"Our classroom has implemented a comprehensive collection of calming and sensory tools designed to create an inclusive, supportive learning environment for all students. By providing tactile, visual, and proprioceptive sensory input, these resources—including fidget spinners, squishy balls, putty, visual timers, and chewable pencil toppers—directly address the diverse neurological needs of our learners, particularly those on the autism spectrum. Students have access to evidence-based strategies to manage anxiety and restlessness, enabling them to remain calm and focused during instruction. By reducing sensory-seeking behaviors and environmental overstimulation, students can direct their cognitive resources toward learning rather than managing discomfort or distraction. Visual aids like sand timers provide concrete, predictable cues that help students prepare for activity changes, reducing anxiety and behavioral challenges. By investing in sensory-responsive tools, we affirm that all students deserve learning environments where they can access instruction comfortably, manage their needs independently, and thrive academically and socially.","fullyFundedDate":1773747282486,"projectUrl":"project/little-hands-big-adventures-sensory-tool/10060906/","projectTitle":"Little Hands-Big Adventures-Sensory Tools for Regulation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10419020"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89036","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":988,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":16,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.1,"schoolId":89036,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Keystone Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Keystone Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/bristol-township-school-district/lafayette-elementary-school/89036"}
