Your contributions have made a positive difference in our classroom by providing resources that support my students academically, socially, and emotionally.\r\n\r\nMy students have been especially excited about our new materials! The standing desk gives students another option for staying comfortable and focused while completing their work. The fidgets provide helpful sensory support for students who benefit from movement and hands-on tools throughout the day. Our jellyfish has added a fun and calming touch to the classroom, while the Expo markers give students more opportunities to participate in interactive lessons and show their thinking. The treasure box has also been a big hit! My students love having something to look forward to as they work hard, make positive choices, and celebrate their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nThese resources will continue to play an important role in our daily classroom routines. Whether students are working through a challenging assignment, participating in a group lesson, or celebrating a personal achievement, having different tools available helps me create an environment where every child feels supported, encouraged, and valued.

The headphones have made a difference in our classroom by providing students with a quieter, more focused environment when they are working independently, completing assignments, or needing a break from distractions. They are especially helpful for students who benefit from reduced noise and additional support with concentration and self-regulation.\r\n\r\nThe indoor recess games have also been a big hit! Our students love having new activities to enjoy, especially on days when we cannot go outside. The games encourage teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and positive social interactions. It has been wonderful to see students laughing, working together, and building friendships while having fun.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited about how these resources support the different needs of our learners, including students in our special education program. Some students who are easily distracted by background noise have welcomed the opportunity to use the headphones, while others have really enjoyed having new games that allow them to connect with their classmates.

These tools have created a more supportive and focused learning environment for all students, especially those with sensory sensitivities, attention challenges, or anxiety. The noise-canceling headphones allow students to concentrate during independent work without being overwhelmed by background noise, while the fidgets and sensory items provide healthy outlets for excess energy and self-regulation. This has led to noticeable improvements in student engagement, confidence, and task completion.\r\n\r\nThe chair bands have also helped students who struggle to sit still for long periods by giving them an appropriate way to move while staying focused on their learning. With these resources, students are more comfortable, calm, and ready to learn. The classroom feels more inclusive and equitable because every student now has access to tools that support their individual learning needs. Thanks to these donations, students are better able to manage their emotions, focus on their goals, and participate meaningfully in classroom activities each day.","fullyFundedDate":1757551076328,"projectUrl":"project/sound-off-learning-on-supporting-senso/9501844/","projectTitle":"Sound Off, Learning On: Supporting Sensory Needs in 3rd Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Charity","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9199348_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692410634035","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9199348"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67249","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":266,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":60,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":67249,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Truitt Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Truitt Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/chesapeake-public-schools/truitt-intermediate-school/67249"}
