The arrival of our new sensory and focus-based materials has created a wonderful shift in our daily routine. These aren't just activities; they are essential tools that help my students navigate their emotions and energy levels throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWe have integrated these materials into our Restore and Reflect classroom, and the results have been inspiring. Your gift is helping my students find their calm, The Origami Activities & Yarn have been incredible for fine motor focus. The rhythmic nature of folding paper or working with yarn allows students to enter a \"flow state,\" quietening their minds as they concentrate on the task at hand. The Where's Waldo Books are a classroom favorite for visual grounding. When a student feels a \"big emotion\" coming on, focusing on the intricate details of a search-and-find book helps them step back and regain composure.The LCD Writing Tablets provide a silent, low-pressure outlet for students to doodle, write out their frustrations and erase, or simply draw patterns until they feel ready to rejoin the group. The Water Doodle Mat offers a unique, mess-free sensory experience. The cool touch of the water and the temporary nature of the art allow students to \"let go\" of their stress as the water evaporates.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are learning that it is okay to need a moment to themselves. Instead of feeling stuck in a moment of frustration, they now have a menu of options to calm their bodies and reset their intentions. This transition allows them to return to their lessons with a cleared mind, ready to finish their school day strong and successful.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing the resources that make our classroom a more mindful, productive place to be.","fullyFundedDate":1769620683842,"projectUrl":"project/restore-and-reflect/10053859/","projectTitle":"Restore and Reflect","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delaney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10415999"},{"teacherId":10415999,"projectId":10052049,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity in funding our project. The arrival of our new sensory tools has been a game-changer for my classroom, and I wish you could see the immediate sense of relief and focus they have brought to my students.\r\n\r\nThe Restore and Reflect classroom has become a sanctuary for students who feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. Your gift is making a difference every single day, the Liquid Motion Bubble Timers have a hypnotic, soothing effect. Students watch the colorful droplets fall to help slow their heart rates and find their center. The Water Mat & Squishy Sensory Toys are providing the tactile input many of our learners crave. The rhythmic squeezing and pressing help release pent-up energy in a productive, quiet way. The Fidget Spinners are for my students who need to move to focus, these tools allow them to channel that restlessness into a small, silent motion, keeping their minds tuned into the lesson. The I Spy Books are perfect for \"cognitive grounding.\" By focusing on finding specific objects, students can pivot away from a moment of frustration and regain their mental clarity.\r\n\r\nBecause of these materials, my students are learning how to self-regulate. Instead of a small emotional hurdle turning into a lost afternoon of learning, they now have the tools to calm their bodies and reset their minds. They are returning to their desks feeling empowered, ready to finish their school day strong and proud of their work.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in their well-being and for believing that every child deserves a peaceful environment to learn. You haven't just provided \"stuff\"; you've provided the opportunity for my students to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1770135721733,"projectUrl":"project/restore-and-reflect/10052049/","projectTitle":"Restore and Reflect","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delaney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10415999"},{"teacherId":4638092,"projectId":9977334,"letterContent":"I am so incredibly thankful for your support. The flexible floor chairs have been a huge hit. It is so exciting to see students gravitate to them right away. Because they are so portable, I have been able to try out different reading spaces in the library that can change with the seasons. The bright fabric add a much needed pop of color to the library, staff as well as students have commented on how nice the new seating looks in the library. With your help, I have been able to make the library a welcoming and exciting place to be! \r\n\r\nThe library is the place that where students can seek out their interests and explore subjects because they want to, giving them the freedom to love learning.
