Having access to disinfecting products made it possible for us to regularly sanitize commonly used surfaces, toys, and especially the fidgets that are frequently shared among many students in our program. This extra level of cleanliness played an important role in helping to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria from one student to another. As a result, our learning environment remained safer, healthier, and more comfortable for both students and staff. These supplies not only supported good hygiene practices but also gave our students and families peace of mind knowing that we are taking proactive steps to protect everyone's well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1697642216391,"projectUrl":"project/useful-resources/7827220/","projectTitle":"Useful Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9014353_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762474404577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9014353"},{"teacherId":9014353,"projectId":7301667,"letterContent":"Technology is making a big difference in our classroom, especially for students who benefit from visual, interactive, and personalized learning tools.

Some students use speech-to-text tools to express themselves more easily in writing, while others benefit from calming visuals or guided breathing apps during emotional regulation breaks.\r\nThank you for helping us make that possible!","fullyFundedDate":1694437988105,"projectUrl":"project/cares-resources/7301667/","projectTitle":"C.A.R.E.S Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9014353_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762474404577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9014353"},{"teacherId":9014353,"projectId":7323539,"letterContent":"When our new sensory resources arrived, there was excitement and curiosity.

One specific project we worked on was creating a \"calm corner,\" where each student chose a few sensory tools that helped them feel grounded.
