Keep Calm and Sensory On!
Funded Oct 24, 2018I want to tell you just how much this project has helped us! My students now have a "Calm Spot" to go when they are feeling upset, being an Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities classroom this is imperative. My students suffer with many things that can cause them to shut down or act out inappropriately. They need a place to feel at peace and calm down. Thanks to the many items such as Mad Matter and Wobble seats, my class now has the resources they need to find their happy place.
My class was so ecstatic when we received the items and there are no words to tell how happy these items have made them and myself. I now can offer a truly relaxing and sensory experience to my students and this is my goal as a teacher. Once a student feels calm and happy, they are then ready to learn and impact others!
Thank you Donors, each and everyone , no donation is too small to help a classroom with special needs become a productive and successful one !
with endless gratitude,
Jessica Ferrare and our class!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Chevron Fuel Your School and 4 other donors.We are the Future.
Funded Nov 1, 2017It is with my deepest thanks, that I send this letter to my loving donors. As a caring teacher I tend to spend as much money as I can, of my own, and my children just need more. Because my class is EBD( students with disabilities) this donation has made such a huge impact in our classroom. My class now has true motivational and helpful incentives to behave their very best. We our able to use the tablets for a variety of age appropriate learning games and free time as a reward. The impact we received thanks to you is huge! Everyday my students try a little harder and work much better because of their interest in receiving tablet time. The tablets and Samsung tablet can be used for all the ages I have in my classroom , as I have a range of ages from 5-10 in my room ,all together. We thank you sincerely for this amazing gift and promise to share our luck with other classes as well, this way even more students will be impacted by your generous and loving donation.”

Zap, Ka-Boom, Read!
Funded May 9, 2017My students have begun to truly enjoy free reading time now, thanks to the amazing books we received. I have students coming in from nearby classes to read and look at them as well. This donation has helped to encourage reading on higher-levels , due to their high level of interest in the beautiful collection we received. Everyday I have at least 2 students asking to read one of them when they are finished with their work. This inspires them so much, not only just the actual reading but the amazing illustrations are encouraging my class to work harder and show true excitement. I work with students that have emotional and behavioral disabilities so these books have been very therapeutic for them. I even use them as rewards and for times in which a student needs a break to calm down when they are upset. Our class has grown by 5 students within the last month, and we have written thank you letters and they are ready for your eyes, with love and deep appreciation. Thank you for helping our class become inspired.”
