The new resources have brought excitement and new learning opportunities to our middle and high school self-contained special education classroom. Our sensory items help students feel calm and comfortable, while the flexible seating gives them options that better meet their individual learning needs. The earphones help students focus during independent work, and our new books encourage reading and literacy development. The STEM puzzles give students opportunities to build problem-solving skills, practice critical thinking, and learn through hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nMy students have enjoyed exploring the new materials and discovering how they can use them throughout the school day. It is wonderful to see them work on puzzles, explore books, and choose seating that helps them feel comfortable and ready to learn. These resources help create a classroom environment where students can focus, build confidence, and participate in activities at their own pace. Every student has different needs, and having these materials allows me to provide more individualized support and meaningful learning experiences.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue incorporating these resources into our daily academic lessons and life skills activities. Students will use the STEM puzzles to practice problem-solving and teamwork, books to strengthen reading skills, and sensory items and flexible seating to support comfort and attention. The earphones will also help students focus on computer-based learning activities. Thank you for investing in our classroom and believing in our students. Your generosity helps provide the tools they need to grow in independence, develop new skills, and experience success every day. We are truly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1789467902941,"projectUrl":"project/universal-design/10465219/","projectTitle":"Universal Design","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stefanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4632872_orig.jpg?crop=2818,2818,x0,y281&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786382373548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4632872"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92866","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":610,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":98,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":92866,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summertown High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summertown High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/lawrence-county-school-district/summertown-high-school/92866"}
