Part of the appeal is that these fidgets bridge teaching academics and life skills. A life skill is the ability to listen, and fidgets help some kids with this skill. With this new group of kids, I was beginning to realize that some of them NEED these to enhance the skills they already had at school. \r\nThose kids that need these were extremely interested and even grateful when they saw them for the first time. They were still practicing and learning how to use them at school and when they should use them while at school. We are still practicing and learning together, but I know that these materials will enhance their learning no matter where they go next!","fullyFundedDate":1746484284293,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-items-for-students/9171742/","projectTitle":"Sensory Items for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mickael","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8928539_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741911686327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8928539"},{"teacherId":7134229,"projectId":9278486,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the materials.

They are loving how fun the headphones have made their lessons as well. As we move classrooms I will have enough leftover for me to continue to beatify the classroom throughout the school year.

Thank you!\r\n\r\nFrom our special needs students to our fifth graders, each grade level has had a positive impact from this gift. We were able to use the rhythm sticks for an amazing circle game from Ghana, where we past one of our sticks to the person next to us, while we sang the melody for 4th and 5th graders. Our Kindergarten friends have loved the rhythm sticks to keep the beat and the egg shakers, using them to act out different movements to songs. Our 2nd and 3rd graders have used the guiros for several songs and they love the sounds and feel. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contribution to our school.

Being able to have everything printed out and in a file box ready to go for the day or to print has been a time saver.

It was a struggle to find something that could give them a place to put even something simple as their markers and other coloring utensils so that they would be easily accessible. Another teacher showed me what she had used in her classroom and it was a brilliant and simple idea! Hanging baskets for the cubbies so students would have two spaces to store their things - while still sharing with their cubby partner it did give them just enough space to be able to make the things they used more often easier to grab when they needed them. Thank you so much for making this possible and while some of my kids are still in the beginning of the year habits, the others love that they have more control over their things and can just grab them when they need them.","fullyFundedDate":1739224050383,"projectUrl":"project/creating-extra-storage-space-for-student/9062843/","projectTitle":"Creating Extra Storage Space for Students' Cubbies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hain","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8917247_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690482632989","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8917247"},{"teacherId":7134229,"projectId":9070087,"letterContent":"Our students enjoyed using the tie dye kits so much.

This has helped keep headphones cords off the ground and eliminated tripping hazards. \r\n\r\nThe headphones are coming I handy every day.

I had a few students come in this year at both the beginning of the year and as new students later with no supplies and I was able to give them everything that they needed. Being able to have crayon and color pencil packs ready to go when my class needs a replacement instead of having to borrow or hunt down extras has made a world of difference for last minute losses of supplies when students let me know what they are missing during a project. As my students have been putting their crayons in their boxes I have been refilling the crayon box itself and putting it back in our classroom cabinet - the smile they give me when they get handed the box filled with crayons seems so small, but it so big to them.

It has made so many things possible for us in terms of play and creation. When we got them, my students were so incredibly excited. We have been using them at every single opportunity!\r\n\r\nIn SEL, we did a whole body listening activity where students are on opposite sides of a folder. Each student had about 10 legos. Student A would build something and then give directions to Student B to build it. Student B has to activate whole body listening in order to complete the task successfully. Then, students switch and do the same routine. It was so fun to see them laugh and enjoy the activity!\r\n\r\nAnother thing that I love about having legos is the opportunity for daily builds. We have earned free time each day, and students play with the legos every single day. I love watching them be creative and copy builds from the book to guide them.

They exclaimed when they saw what was inside each gift addressed to them: 3 books that were all theirs to keep forever. I heard so many thank yous!!! Within the next 20 minutes we spent at the end of school. Then, we read with each other until it was time to leave. I told them to bring the books with them next week to introduce Buddy reading and small group reading. Students will be taught what it means to read aloud to another student one on one or multiple at a time, so that thought will be planted before going to Winter break. We will revisit and reinforce the idea when we return from break. Along with this, students now have something to read over Winter break.
