The children in my classroom love the new swing. The rhythmic movement of the swing helps them to regulate their emotions when they are having a tough day. It also great FUN when they are having a happy day. The swing is a WIN WIN tool. It provides an avenue for motivation, regulating emotions, gross motor development, the list goes on and on.\r\nJust one example of the swing's pivotal use occurred when a student came into class very upset one day. The student could not be consoled or distracted using any of our other methods or strategies. We took the student on a walk to the sensory room in hopes of taking a break and calming down. Upon entrance, the student walked straight to the sensory swing and stayed there until he/she had calmed down. Then the student returned to the classroom and was able to re-engage in the learning activities of the day. \r\nThe swing and mats are working in exactly the manner we had hoped they will. Thank you for providing them for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1719695924595,"projectUrl":"project/an-oasis-of-calm-for-kids-with-unique-se/8313070/","projectTitle":"An Oasis of Calm for Kids with Unique Sensory Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4627320"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63321","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":602,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.3,"schoolId":63321,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pioneer Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pioneer Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/sunnyside-school-district-201/pioneer-elementary-school/63321"}
