Each student has been able to gain access to building independence, personalized learning, and personalized reinforcement because of you! \r\n\r\nOur students were thrilled to see clean, new carts with their names and colors on them! They love getting and parking their carts in their own personal spots and their learning is taking off thanks to your support! \r\n\r\nThe smallest items can make the biggest impact in our world. What others may look at as a set of drawers for organization has opened the door to new levels of independence, fun, and language for students who you believed in.","fullyFundedDate":1746785646525,"projectUrl":"project/cool-carts/9216142/","projectTitle":"Cool Carts!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arienzo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8701834_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743124663548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8701834"},{"teacherId":10087520,"projectId":9488498,"letterContent":"My students are using the new ball chairs as both classroom incentives and as a sensory support during independent, teacher-led, and group work times. Within the TEACCH method, students complete independent work bins for half of our academic periods, and the ball chairs have become an important part of that structure. The movement and flexibility the chairs allow help students stay engaged and focused while working through their tasks. They also serve as a reward for meeting classroom expectations, which motivates students to maintain positive behaviors and complete their work efficiently. The combination of structure from the TEACCH approach and the sensory regulation from the ball chairs has noticeably improved student independence and participation.\r\n\r\nWhen the ball chairs first arrived, my students were overjoyed. They literally jumped up and down with excitement at the sight of them. For many of my students, sensory tools like these are highly motivating, so their immediate enthusiasm was wonderful to see. They were eager to take turns and test them out, and it was clear right away that the chairs would be a valuable addition to our learning environment. Their positive reaction reinforced the importance of incorporating sensory-friendly options into our classroom routines.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I plan to implement a more formal rotation system to ensure all students have equal access to the ball chairs. This structure will help balance the use of the chairs fairly, while still allowing them to function as both a tool for sensory regulation and an incentive for positive behavior. By setting clear expectations for when and how the chairs are used, I can help students understand that they are part of our classroom community's shared resources, not just individual rewards. This next step will support consistency and fairness while maintaining the enthusiasm and engagement the ball chairs have brought to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1754096800667,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-awesome-autistic-learners/9488498/","projectTitle":"Supporting Awesome Autistic Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Banks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10087520"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89135","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":255,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.2,"schoolId":89135,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Emily Brittain Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Emily Brittain Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/butler-area-school-district/emily-brittain-elementary-school/89135"}
