Before receiving the fans, high temperatures often made it difficult for students with sensory sensitivities to regulate, focus, and feel comfortable in the space. At times, the sensory room could not be used as intended due to the heat.\r\n\r\nSince adding the Honeywell QuietSet Oscillating Tower Fans, the room stays cooler and better ventilated. The quiet operation prevents overstimulation while providing noticeable comfort. Students are now able to use the sensory room more consistently to calm their bodies, practice self-regulation, and return to class ready to learn.\r\n\r\nBy addressing a basic need—temperature comfort—this project removed a barrier to learning and helped create a more supportive, inclusive environment for our students. Thank you for making this positive impact possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755883398860,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-keep-our-sensory-room-cool-and-c/9523622/","projectTitle":"Help Us Keep Our Sensory Room Cool and Comfortable!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zavala","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/priscilla-zavala"},{"teacherId":9346773,"projectId":9473471,"letterContent":"My students are learning to build on writing skills.

The notebooks you donated will help them build on writing and note taking.\r\n\r\nIn addition, many of my students do not see the small buttons on a regular calculator. Having the option of large button calculators will help them feel less stressed when working on math problems as they will be sure of their answers given that the calculator buttons are larger in size.
