As a lower elementary special education teacher, many of my students require significant sensory support in order to be regulated enough to participate and learn. Your donation has helped my students meet some of their proprioceptive and vestibular needs.\r\n\r\nMy students who thrive on deep pressure have used the weighted blankets. They will place the blanket across their laps or wrap themselves in them, and then be able to learn to use their augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, enabling them to learn to ask for items they want, introduce themselves to others, and inform teachers and staff of their needs. Some of my students struggle with emotional regulation and the weighted blankets allow them to regulate their emotions and stay in class to learn.\r\n\r\nMy students who are \"fidgety\" or move constantly love the wobble and inflatable seats. They are able to stay at their desks and bounce or wiggle--similar to how adults will shake their legs or chew gum. Like the students who love deep pressure, the students who need to move are able to meet their needs appropriately and more fully participate in classroom academics and activities. \r\n\r\nThank you again for contributing to my students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1787065297483,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-items-for-special-education/10207731/","projectTitle":"Sensory Items for Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4297514_orig.jpg?crop=3093,3093,x0,y257&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777472540351","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4297514"},{"teacherId":10635862,"projectId":10554643,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for the support I received to fund this project!

Equipping every student with their own headphones and mouse pad removes gives students the tools they need to succeed. Headphones allow young learners to listen to their educational games and video tutorials without creating a chaotic sensory overload in the room. The mouse pads are very appreciated. My old mouse pads were ripping, thin, dirty, and mishappen. The new mouse pads provide a perfect tool for young students still developing fine motor skills to control their mouse.\r\n\r\nI am very thankful for the hand sanitizer that I use in my daily classroom routine. The computer lab has 250-300 students a day. The hand sanitizer will help to keep my keyboards and mice clean so germs aren't transferred as easily. Providing hand sanitizer for before and after typing sessions establishes crucial hygiene habits while protecting both the kids and the shared equipment. Ultimately, this thoughtful donation does more than just supply accessories. Students will have more time to learn if the use of hand sanitizer prevents the spread of illnesses in the computer lab.","fullyFundedDate":1786137579049,"projectUrl":"project/elementary-computer-lab-basics/10448225/","projectTitle":"Elementary Computer Lab Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9176861_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785953676915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9176861"},{"teacherId":10590461,"projectId":10477105,"letterContent":"This project has had a wonderful impact on my first-grade students by providing them with opportunities to take meaningful mind and body regulation breaks throughout the school day. First grade requires young students to spend a significant amount of time listening, focusing, following directions, and managing their bodies and emotions. For six- and seven-year-olds, this can be challenging. The materials provided through this project have given my students appropriate ways to take a break, regulate their bodies and minds, and then return to classroom instruction better prepared to focus and learn.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important things I have seen is that sometimes a student who appears distracted or unable to complete a task does not necessarily need more academic instruction. Instead, that student may simply need an opportunity to move, reset, or regulate before being asked to focus again. These materials have allowed me to recognize and respond to those needs in a positive way. Rather than expecting a child to continue struggling to sit and focus when their body is telling them they need a break, I can provide an appropriate regulation opportunity and then help them transition back into learning.\r\n\r\nThese breaks have become an important tool for helping students learn how to recognize what their own bodies and minds need. At this age, students are still developing self-awareness and self-regulation skills. They do not always know why they are feeling restless, overwhelmed, frustrated, or distracted. Providing structured opportunities for mind and body regulation helps them begin to understand those feelings and learn healthy ways to respond to them. Over time, my goal is for students to become increasingly independent in recognizing when they need to reset and in using strategies that will help them return to learning successfully.","fullyFundedDate":1787061420554,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-experiences-to-aid-in-body-regul/10477105/","projectTitle":"Sensory Experiences to Aid in Body Regulation to Support Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10590461"},{"teacherId":9109939,"projectId":10528241,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my project.
