Students love the bean bag chairs as comfortable alternative seating.

Your support has brought a wave of excitement and new opportunities to our classroom. When the students first saw the materials arrive, their faces lit up with pure joy—they couldn't wait to start using these new tools to help them learn and grow.\r\n\r\nThese resources are already making a tangible difference in our daily routines. We are currently using them to help students practice self-regulation while remaining in the general education classroom. I witnessed a wonderful moment recently where a student, who often feels overwhelmed by the noise and activity of a busy room, was able to use one of the new resources to stay grounded and focused. Instead of needing to step out for a break, they remained engaged with their peers and successfully completed the lesson.\r\n\r\nOur next goal is to continue building this supportive environment. We want to ensure every student has the tools they need to manage their sensory and emotional needs right at their desks. By providing more of these essential resources, we can minimize time spent outside the classroom and maximize the valuable learning moments students share with their classmates.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has done more than just provide \"things\"—it has provided inclusion and confidence for my students. We are so grateful for your investment in our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1758808893736,"projectUrl":"project/swierczynskis-classroom/9693211/","projectTitle":"Swierczynski's Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Swierczynski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6705810"},{"teacherId":8988544,"projectId":8567746,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the tools included in this project!
