Because of your donations, our kindergarten classroom is a much calmer, more organized, and focused place to learn.\r\n\r\nThe chair pockets are lifesavers. The kids have a special, colorful spot right on their chair for their supplies, and they love having their own little pocket. This has cut down transition times when they need to take out a book or their writing journal. Plus, the electric pencil sharpener means we always have sharp pencils, which means less frustration and fewer interruptions!\r\n\r\nThe large visual timer have been great for focus. We were working on writing stories, and one student who often gets distracted put on the noise-canceling earmuffs, set the timer, and did their work! We also use the sticky easel note pad to create charts together for writing ideas.","fullyFundedDate":1757206840166,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-needs-and-visuals-for-kinders/9623303/","projectTitle":"Sensory Needs and Visuals for Kinders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aimee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10064887_orig.jpg?crop=2711,2711,x30,y443&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751396863345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aimeejun"},{"teacherId":9848122,"projectId":9562364,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our classroom this year. The students have been so excited to see all the new titles on their shelves! I am often met with reluctant, even resistant readers, and to have texts that reflect their lived experience is really exciting to them. They are finding the magic of literature: that we can process our hurt or our hopes when these are reflected back to us, just slightly removed. Our discussions have been rich and moving, as they empathize and understand a character's motivation and choices. \r\n\r\nThe other things on my list: games, snacks, other classroom things, have been incredibly helpful in creating community, fun, and a sense of belonging for learners. My advisory class is mostly multi-language learners, and of many different languages, so teaching is tough. But on days when we have less to do, I pull out the games, and they have such a good time. I hear them yelling at each other in Portuguese, Spanish, and Ukrainian as they slap another uno card down. It's so fun to see them come together, even without much in common. \r\n\r\nYour donations have made such a huge difference in student lives. Thank you again for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1755374903672,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-warmth-and-belonging/9562364/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies: Warmth and Belonging","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Daugharty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9848122"},{"teacherId":10051853,"projectId":9503862,"letterContent":"The new books have brought so much energy to our classroom!!

They are always doing rock-paper-scissors to see who gets to sit on them each day. The cushions are a big hit for my students who like doing work on the floor or don't like how hard my chairs are.\r\n\r\nWhen I first laid out my rug my students came in and actually said \"Ooooo! I like your new rug! Can we sit on it?\" I now hold my social group on it every day. The students definitely prefer the rug for playing on than the tile floor.\r\n\r\nWhat my students like the most though are the items in my store. They are very motivated by the fidgets and little toys. They earn classroom money throughout the week and on Fridays they are able to buy items from the store. Many of them are saving up for some of the bigger ticket items. Every single student gets so excited when I pull out the store on Fridays and many of them ask me to look at things throughout the week to plan about what they want to save up for.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contribution.

Others have created personal sensory areas where they can lie down, engage with sensory tools, practice breathing, and find a peaceful place to feel safe.\r\n\r\nWe've also seen the mats transform into cozy reading corners, complete with favorite stuffed animals, or soft workspaces for fine motor activities and imaginative play.

The Classic Birch Tabletop Communication Center has already made a huge difference in our daily routine.

This system also makes it easier for me to send home work and communicate with families — everything now has a clear place and purpose!\r\n\r\nThe classroom headphones have been another wonderful addition. Students use them during digital learning, reading programs, and independent activities. The noise-canceling headphones, especially, have been a huge help for students who need a quieter space to focus. It's been heartwarming to watch them feel more comfortable and confident during learning time.\r\n\r\nOur calm down corner now features the sensory stuffed octopus, which has quickly become a favorite classroom companion. Students love how soft and soothing it is, and it's made a real difference for those who need a moment to regulate before returning to learning.\r\n\r\nWith these new tools, our classroom runs more smoothly, and students are learning valuable skills in responsibility, independence, and self-regulation. We'll continue using the mailboxes for daily communication and organization, while the headphones support focused, individualized learning.
