The items for our relaxation station have really helped with teaching my student emotional regulation and conflict resolution. I work in a special education collaborative classroom which include students who have emotional disabilities and as well as sensory disabilities. These disabilities can make it difficult to function in the every day sensory stimulations of a classroom such as sounds and light, but having a place to go that feels safe and away from the stimulations has helped those kids be able to refocus themselves and rejoin the class.

Students loved the experience. Each student became curious, grabbed an instrument, satisfied their curiosity and continued experimenting while actually sharing with his or her classmate.\r\n\r\nThe instruments certainly inspired the discovery of sounds. What was originally a five minute activity actually turned into a 15-minute jam session with all of the students contributing to the musical chaos which transformed into something quite amazing. \r\n\r\nAlso, students really enjoyed matching shapes. One student demonstrated his skills to the teachers and class by reading aloud the names of the shapes: diamond, triangle, oval.","fullyFundedDate":1746783016815,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-toys-for-ecse/9049754/","projectTitle":"Sensory Toys For ECSE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9892221"},{"teacherId":6405143,"projectId":9459364,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping to create a more inclusive and supportive environment in my classroom. As a collaboration class, I work with students who have a range of special needs, including sensory sensitivities. Many of these students struggle with over- or under-stimulation from their environment, such as loud noises or the need to sit still. The tools you've provided, like wobble seats, noise-cancelling earmuffs, and textured stickers, have been invaluable in helping them regulate their sensory needs. These tools not only assist students with sensory sensitivities but also help maintain a calm, focused classroom for all.\r\n\r\nMy students love using the wobble seats to release excess energy and stay focused without disrupting others. The noise-cancelling earmuffs have made a big difference for those sensitive to sound, helping them feel more comfortable during particularly exciting lessons. The textured stickers offer a great outlet for students to self-soothe during tests or classwork. Your support has been crucial in helping my students feel more confident and engaged in the classroom.
