As a special education teacher, my goal has always been to create a classroom where every child feels safe, comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has transformed into a welcoming, sensory-friendly environment filled with spaces and resources that meet the unique needs of my students. When the materials first arrived, the students were excited to explore their new surroundings and quickly began discovering their favorite items and spaces. From the cozy reading corner and calming sensory tools to the softer lighting and interactive materials, each addition has helped make our classroom feel more like a place where every student truly belongs.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of this project has been watching my students develop stronger daily routines and a growing sense of independence. Our classroom now has designated spaces where students can move throughout the day, whether they need a quiet moment with a book, a sensory break, or an opportunity to practice calming strategies. Each student has developed personal preferences, and they look forward to choosing their favorite books, fidgets, seating, and sensory activities each day. What may seem like a small choice is actually a huge step toward building independence, communication, and self-regulation. Seeing students independently gravitate toward the resources that help them feel comfortable and ready to learn has been incredibly meaningful.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we are building on these routines by teaching students to recognize their emotions, communicate their needs, make choices, and use calming strategies with increasing independence. The visual schedules, feelings charts, sensory resources, and social-emotional learning materials will continue to play an important role in helping each student grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our classroom theme is \"Never Stop Growing,\" and your kindness has given my students the tools and environment to do exactly that, each at their own pace. Thank you for investing in my students, believing in their potential, and helping create a classroom where every learner has the opportunity to thrive. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in our everyday lives!","fullyFundedDate":1785468960063,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-sensory-friendly-classroom-fo/10409889/","projectTitle":"Creating a Sensory-Friendly Classroom for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Soni","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10561445_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784997376077","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kccfa"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130686","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":56.5,"schoolId":130686,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Horizons Center for Autism - Kiln Creek Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Horizons Center for Autism - Kiln Creek Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/newport-news-public-schools/new-horizons-center-for-autism/130686"}
