These items have created a calm, inviting, and visually stimulating learning space where our students can explore, communicate, and engage in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful for them.\r\n\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources? Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nWe use these materials during daily sensory stations and early literacy activities. One special moment happened during our alphabet recognition lesson: two of our nonverbal students were working at the light table with the translucent letters. As the table glowed beneath them, they began independently sorting letters by color, then placing the matching uppercase and lowercase letters side by side. Without any verbal prompts, they even started handing each other letters they thought the other needed an incredible example of communication through shared play.\r\n\r\nThe sensory tray helps contain materials in a focused space, giving students a sense of security and structure while they explore textures, colors, and shapes. The complete sensory materials set allows students to stack, match, sort, and build, supporting fine motor skills and early math development in a hands-on, sensory-friendly way.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nTheir excitement was immediate and joyful. Many of our nonverbal students were drawn straight to the glowing table, reaching out to touch the colorful letters and shapes. Some of them vocalized with excitement, smiled widely, or began exploring the materials without hesitation. Students who usually need significant encouragement to join group activities felt confident and motivated to participate simply because the materials were so visually engaging and calming.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using the sensory materials and transparent letters to support:\r\n\r\nLetter recognition and beginning sounds, using glowing letters to capture interest\r\n\r\nNumber recognition and counting activities, combining sensory play with early math\r\n\r\nColor sorting and pattern building, helping students practice visual discrimination\r\n\r\nTurn-taking and shared play routines, especially for nonverbal learners who communicate best through action\r\n\r\nCalming sensory breaks, using the tray and materials to help regulate emotions during transitions\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly transformed our sensory learning space.

It has quickly become one of the most calming, engaging, and meaningful tools in our classroom. The soft glow, changing colors, and inviting surface have opened up new ways for our students to communicate, explore, and connect with one another often without needing any words at all.\r\n\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources? Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nWe use the light table daily for sensory play, color exploration, sorting activities, and building projects with translucent materials. One of our favorite moments happened during a sensory center rotation: two of our nonverbal students sat together at the light table, quietly placing translucent gems on the glowing surface. At first, each child was working independently, but soon they began handing pieces to each other matching colors, lining them up in patterns, and even taking turns placing shapes on the same spot. This unstructured but meaningful interaction was a huge milestone, showing just how powerful the light table is in supporting social learning.\r\n\r\nThe table has also helped students regulate their emotions. The gentle color transitions create a soothing environment that encourages focus, calmness, and longer engagement with learning tasks.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nTheir reactions were priceless! As soon as the light table turned on and began changing colors, our nonverbal students were immediately drawn to it. Their faces lit up, and many began vocalizing excitedly, touching the glowing surface with curiosity and joy. Several students who usually hesitate to join group activities went straight to the table and began exploring materials without hesitation. It was clear from the very first moment that this tool would become a classroom favorite.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\n\r\nWe plan to use the light table to support:\r\n\r\nColor recognition and sorting activities using translucent counters and gems\r\n\r\nFine motor skill development through stacking, placing, and pattern-making\r\n\r\nSocial interaction goals, including turn-taking, parallel play, and shared play\r\n\r\nCalming sensory routines to help students regulate their emotions during transitions\r\n\r\nEarly math concepts, such as shapes, patterns, counting, and comparing sizes\r\n\r\nThe light table has become a bridge for our nonverbal learners a safe, beautiful space where they can express themselves, connect with peers, and participate more fully in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping our students shine brighter literally and figuratively through this amazing resource!","fullyFundedDate":1763156635989,"projectUrl":"project/shining-together-illuminating-learning/9871403/","projectTitle":"Shining Together: Illuminating Learning Through Sensory Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cassandra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10305110_orig.jpg?crop=239,239,x0,y56&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760464171608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10305110"},{"teacherId":10305110,"projectId":9874220,"letterContent":"Our students have absolutely loved having consistently inflated balls to use during recess and PE time, thanks to the Champion Sports Electric Ball Inflator. Before this project, many of our sports balls would slowly deflate, making it difficult for students to fully enjoy games like basketball, soccer, and four-square. Now, with the new inflator, we are able to keep all of our equipment in perfect condition every day something the students noticed immediately!\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources? Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\nWe use the electric inflator throughout the week to prepare our recess and PE balls. One special moment happened during our PE skills practice: the students were learning how to dribble basketballs, and for the first time, every ball bounced evenly and consistently. This allowed the whole class including beginners to participate confidently and successfully. Students who were previously frustrated with flat or uneven balls were suddenly excited and fully engaged.\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nThey were thrilled! Several students gathered around as we inflated the first set of balls and cheered when they heard the inflator start up. Their excitement grew as each ball came out perfectly round and ready to use. A few even said, \"These feel like brand new balls!\" Their smiles and eagerness to run outside and test them out made it clear how much this resource meant to them.\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\nNext, our students will be using the reliably inflated balls to practice essential PE skills such as dribbling, passing, catching, and kicking with greater accuracy and success. We plan to introduce small-group sports stations where students rotate between basketball, soccer, and volleyball skill-building activities. Because the equipment is now always ready to use, we can offer more structured, skill-focused lessons without disruption.\r\nThe ball inflator has not only improved the quality of our physical education activities it has boosted students' confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm for active play.

The Light Table Pegs & Pegboard Set, Magnetic Wonder Tiles, Translucent Color Building Blocks, and Sensory Gem Cubes have opened new doors for communication, social interaction, and sensory exploration that we simply could not offer before.\r\n\r\nMany of our nonverbal students thrive through hands-on, visual play, and these items created opportunities for them to interact with their peers in ways that felt safe, inviting, and meaningful. For example, during a recent small-group session, two nonverbal students began building with the translucent blocks together on the light table. At first, they played independently, but soon they were passing pieces back and forth, matching colors, and even taking turns without any verbal prompts. This was a huge milestone one that showed just how powerful the right tools can be.\r\n\r\nThe bright colors, glowing surface, and tactile textures supported their sensory needs beautifully. Students who typically avoid group activities were drawn in by the visual stimulation, soft light, and calming repetitive motions of stacking, sorting, and building. The Sensory Gem Cubes quickly became a favorite, helping students practice color recognition and size comparison while also regulating their sensory input.\r\n\r\nThe storage bins with bamboo lids helped us organize each set so students can easily see and choose what they want. This independence has boosted confidence and reduced frustration, especially for students who rely more on visual cues than language.\r\n\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources? Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nStudents use these materials daily for sensory stations, sorting activities, color exploration, and collaborative building projects. One memorable moment was watching a group of students including two nonverbal learners build a \"rainbow city\" using the Wonder Tiles and translucent blocks. They communicated through pointing, modeling, and shared smiles, demonstrating teamwork without speaking a word.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nThey were immediately captivated! The moment the light table turned on and the translucent pieces began to glow, students rushed toward it with excitement. Several nonverbal students vocalized happily, clapped their hands, or reached directly for the materials. Their joy and curiosity filled the entire classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\n\r\nOur next steps include:\r\n\r\nExpanding sensory-based learning by incorporating counting, sorting, and pattern-making activities\r\n\r\nUsing the materials to support turn-taking, cooperation, and shared play routines\r\n\r\nIntroducing simple STEM challenges, such as building bridges or matching shapes and colors on the pegboard\r\n\r\nContinuing to encourage nonverbal students to communicate through gesture, choice-making, and peer interaction during play\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly become a bridge supporting sensory regulation, social growth, and learning in ways that honor each student's unique strengths. Thank you for helping our classroom shine brighter, one glowing piece at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1763587260935,"projectUrl":"project/bright-ideas-hands-on-stem-tools-for-gr/9866125/","projectTitle":"Bright Ideas: Hands-On STEM Tools for Growing Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cassandra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10305110_orig.jpg?crop=239,239,x0,y56&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760464171608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10305110"},{"teacherId":10305110,"projectId":9812311,"letterContent":"Our students have absolutely loved the new resources! The electric kettle has quickly become a favorite in our classroom especially on chilly mornings. We recently used it to make hot chocolate during our \"Cozy Reading Day,\" and the smiles on their faces said it all. Many of our students had never experienced a warm classroom treat like this, and it helped create such a comforting, welcoming environment for learning.\r\n\r\nThe ball pump has also made a huge difference. Before, students often had to wait for equipment to be inflated or skip playing with certain balls altogether. Now, they are able to inflate the balls independently and head straight outside to play. This has encouraged teamwork, responsibility, and much more active recess time. One of our favorite moments was watching a small group of students work together to pump up a basketball cheering when they finally got it just right!\r\n\r\nThey were instantly excited! The kettle sparked lots of ideas for warm drinks and classroom community moments, and the ball pump felt like a \"real tool\" they were proud to learn how to use. It was wonderful to see them recognize that these items were chosen especially for them.\r\n\r\n\r\nDuring our reading unit, we used hot chocolate as a special incentive for students to finish their writing reflections. They were so motivated, and many said it made the activity feel extra special. Meanwhile, in PE and during recess, the newly inflated balls have allowed for more structured games and smoother transitions.\r\n\r\nWe plan to continue using the kettle for seasonal activities, including a winter-themed writing session where students will describe sensory experiences like warmth, taste, and comfort. With the ball pump, students will take on weekly responsibility roles managing equipment, checking air pressure, and learning basic maintenance.\r\n\r\nThese resources have enhanced both our learning environment and our students' sense of independence.
