I work with cognitively disabled middle school students in an under-resourced, inner-city school, and for many of them, the classroom is where they spend most of their structured day. Your support has made a meaningful difference in how that time feels for them.\r\n\r\nWith the new supplies, we are able to focus on learning without constant interruptions. Something as simple as having enough pencils for everyone has allowed students to participate more confidently and independently in daily activities. The sensory tools have been especially impactful—students use them throughout the day to regulate emotions, stay focused, and engage more fully in lessons. I've already seen students who typically struggle with attention remain calm and present during instruction.\r\n\r\nThe addition of a classroom rug has transformed how we come together as a community. We now have a comfortable, safe space for circle time, where we practice communication, social skills, and emotional expression. Instead of sitting on cold, hard floors, students can gather in a way that feels supportive and inclusive. This has already strengthened our sense of connection and belonging.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using these resources to build structured routines that support both academic and social-emotional growth. We are working on group activities, collaborative storytelling, and daily check-ins during circle time to help students develop communication and self-regulation skills. These tools are not just supplies—they are the foundation for creating a classroom environment where students feel valued, cared for, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a space where every student is seen, supported, and set up for success. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1735074915500,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-gives-space-to-learn/8995399/","projectTitle":"Comfort Gives Space to Learn.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aimée","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9781472_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x380,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727394733200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pursuedbyabear"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35982","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":567,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":36,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":35982,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/district-one-seattle-public-schools/washington-middle-school/35982"}
