Staying Calm With Sensory Breaks
Funded Aug 24, 2020I cannot thank you enough for donating money to help my students have their own sensory items!! Thanks to your very generous donations, my class has access to their own weighted blanket to help them calm down and their own sensory items for break times. In the past, I've seen the benefits of having a weighted blanket and a calm down area for everyone to use, but this year has been a little bit different. I was worried about the students not having access to a mutual "break" area and that it would be difficult for them to see a model of how to use the items and feel motivated to calm down safely. How wrong I was!
Having their own weighted blankets has made the students feel more inclined to use them and I have seen a huge difference in the percentage of students class-wide who engage in socially appropriate self-regulation skills. I thought that individual items would be something I would only do during covid, but after seeing the actual outcomes I am convinced that this is a necessary move I will continue to do year after year! Thank you again for your wonderful donation to this project!”

Individual Supply Buckets for Social Distancing
Funded Aug 18, 2020Thank you so much for contributing to this project! My students have benefited greatly from having their own supply bucket. After seeing the difference in classroom behavior and hygiene, having students use their own supply bucket for their materials will be something I continue to do after covid is long gone!
Prior to having the buckets for students, we ran into multiple problems with storing materials, whether it was losing pencils to the abyss of messy desks or being able to efficiently clean up in a timely manner. Now students are able to quickly clean up or find necessary items, and I am able to visually see all of their items in one glance. On top of which, sanitizing their items is done quickly and efficiently, just spraying their buckets in seconds and saving valuable learning time. Thank you so much for contributing to our safety and learning this school year!”

Technology for Online Learning
Funded Feb 24, 2020Thank you SO MUCH for this incredible donation to our classroom!! My students are going to be so excited to start using these chromebooks and headphones right away. We need online access so frequently throughout the day that even a few extra devices goes a long way. We will definitely see the benefits of accessibility and we couldn't have done it without you!”
