Funded Dec 4, 2024Thank you for your incredible support in providing puzzles for our students with autism. Your contribution has made a significant impact on their learning experience, offering them a unique way to engage with their environment and enhance their cognitive skills.
Puzzles serve as a wonderful tool for promoting problem-solving and critical thinking among students. They encourage focus, patience, and persistence, qualities that are essential for their overall development. Additionally, the tactile nature of puzzles helps in creating a calming effect, which can be beneficial for students who often experience sensory overload.

Sensory Corner In The Making
Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so much for bringing my first Donors Choose project to life! I always want to bring my students fun, engaging, and individualized activities. Your generous donations have made this a reality.
My students love sensory items and the sand, Magnatiles, and Emotion friends gel pack are great hands-on activities that my students are really enjoying.
We recently did a unit on kindness and we used the Emotion friends when talking about ways to be kind. My students loved being able to hold up an emotion based upon different actions that were happening in the book. They also love the Magnatiles for free play when they are taking a break during the school day.
Thank you for believing in this project and for helping my students foster their love of learning!”
