  • It’s All About Sensory Needs!

    Funded Feb 28, 2025

    Thank you so much for funding my project and helping me give my students what they need to learn!

    My students are enjoying exploring new fine motor and sensory options to help them strengthen their hands and regulate to improve their attention and focus. My preschool aged students are especially benefiting from having a variety of new fine motor and sensory options which include much needed chew tubes to meet their oral sensory needs to a variety of sensory bins for them to explore with their hands. In addition, they are using the chair bands I received to help calm their little bodies and they love the sensory based fine motor color matching tools as well. All of the tools I received are being used on a daily basis and are having a positive impact!

    Thank you again. I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity in helping me meet the needs of my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bender

  • Fine Motor Fun for Little Fingers, Lets Learn to Write!

    Funded Feb 4, 2024

    Thank you so very much for donating to my project. My student's eyes light up when I present them with new materials. They love the toys that I selected to help them with key foundational skills. Many are utilizing the pencil grips to help them control their pencils and becoming little writers in the process. Your donation has definitely made a difference in how I am able to support my students and help them grow.

    As my students progress, they are so proud of themselves and it brings me joy to see the desire to learn in their faces! Your generosity is appreciated by all of us!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bender

    This classroom project was brought to life by Connecticut State Department of Education.
