Sensory Bottles for a Special Needs Classroom
Funded May 4, 2022My students had the most amazing time making sensory bottles to take home! When I told them they could take them home, their eyes and smiles grew. They loved using their creativity and being able to customize their own bottles.
After the project while the bottles were drying, we discussed how they could be used because they are a tool and not just a toy. My students discussed that it can help distract them, it can help with their breathing and counting as well.
Many of my students have asked me to share the directions with their families or if we can do this again! It was a great experience and I thank you again for providing us with the needed materials.”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and one other donor.Binders and Storage for Writing
Funded Nov 6, 2021The binders and shelf have helped with organization tremendously! The students are learning how to use tabs and how to organize their work. They also have been able to keep track of pencils, erasers and any other materials needed so they do not have to share materials this year.
The students were able to decorate the sides of their binder with their name so they can find it easily and quickly. They also were able to draw a picture for the front of their binder to personalize it.
We are so thankful for the donation and these will be used for years to come!”

iPad for Data Collection!
Funded Sep 6, 2021Thank you again for your contribution! I have been using this iPad and technology to take data to better inform my instruction. With more accurate and consistent data, my students are getting the interventions and support that they need on an individualized level.
I have been able to use the information from my data collection to create family friendly graphs to share progress at IEP meetings. I have also been able to progress monitor with this information.
Finally, students keep asking why I have an iPad with me at all times, but they are starting to warm up to it and just ignore it now.
Again - I appreciate the support and donation.”
