The materials have been used and appreciated by the students.\r\n\r\nA new student recently transitioned into my class. He has had a difficult time adjusting to his new environment and would not sit in a chair, only sitting/laying on the floor or pacing. He has gotten more comfortable and has been observed to sit for extended periods in the donated rocking chair! I was even able to assist a former student in another classroom by giving her teacher one of the two rocking chairs. These supports help to make learning accessible for our students.\r\n\r\nLearning materials have enhanced the curriculum. Fidgets and snacks have supported students' needs. Your donation has created a classroom where students are nurtured, welcomed, and ready to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1769558458653,"projectUrl":"project/create-a-nurturing-and-calming-autism-su/10055013/","projectTitle":"Create a Nurturing and Calming Autism Support Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mabrouka","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10416982"},{"teacherId":10404957,"projectId":10067457,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my project. Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and in the work I am able to do each day as a school counselor.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, I have been able to create a warm, welcoming space filled with a larger variety of engaging and supportive resources for our elementary students. The Post-it Super Sticky Easel Pad has become an essential tool for interactive lessons and small-group discussions, while Plans has strengthened my ability to deliver classy-looking Coping Skills wall hanging has become a focal point of may conversations. Students are especially drawn to books like The Tattletale Dragon, The Struggle Bus, and Taking Food Allergies to School, which help them better understand their emotions and experiences in a relatable way.\r\n\r\nThe calming impact of the cloud light covers has transformed our space by softening harsh lighting and creating a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. Visual supports like the coping skills poster and Bubble Double: Visualizing Social Skills for Connection give students concrete strategies they can use in real time. Additionally, tools like the Stress Less & Self-Care Cards and calming sensory strips provide immediate, hands-on ways for students to regulate their emotions and feel more in control.\r\n\r\nI am already seeing students open up more, practice coping strategies with confidence, and return to class better prepared to learn. Your support has helped create a space rooted in warmth, care, and connection—where every child feels safe, heard, and valued.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and for making such a lasting impact on their emotional growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1769906658399,"projectUrl":"project/helping-elementary-students-feel-safe-s/10067457/","projectTitle":"Helping Elementary Students Feel Safe, Supported, and Heard","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Singletary","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10404957_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768951939819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404957"},{"teacherId":10404957,"projectId":10024475,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in helping me create a warm, welcoming, and supportive counseling space for our students.

The addition of pillows, journals, and sensory tools has given students meaningful ways to express their emotions, develop coping skills, and find comfort during challenging times.\r\n\r\nThe storage cabinet and bins transformed how I am able to attractively organize and distribute snacks and personal care items.
