Your thoughtful contributions have made a meaningful impact on both the learning environment and the individual growth of my students.\r\n\r\nThe books and bookshelf have sparked so much curiosity and communication among my students. They love talking about the different animals in the books—especially the sea creatures. It's been wonderful to see them sharing what they've learned and engaging with one another in new ways. One student in particular, who often finds it challenging to remain with the whole group, has shown increased motivation and focus just to earn time with the sea animal books. His eyes lit up when he saw our new books. That kind of connection to learning is invaluable.\r\n\r\nThe sensory chew toys have also been incredibly beneficial. They provide a safe and appropriate way for my students to self-regulate, helping them stay focused and calm throughout the day. It's a small tool that's made a big difference in their ability to stay engaged in classroom tasks.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the Velcro dots have proven to be an essential resource in adapting materials to better meet the diverse needs of my students. They've made activities more accessible and engaging, allowing all learners to participate more independently and successfully.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom. Your kindness is not only helping my students learn but also helping them grow in confidence, communication, and independence.","fullyFundedDate":1743108385409,"projectUrl":"project/building-independence-and-self-advocacy/8995645/","projectTitle":"Building Independence and Self-Advocacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delgado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9867984"},{"teacherId":7985578,"projectId":7594933,"letterContent":"My 2nd grade students absolutely loved the being able to listen to music to learn a second language. From the moment the materials arrived, the classroom was buzzing with excitement and creativity.\r\n\r\nMusic has served as a powerful tool for encouraging expression, especially for students who are still developing their language skills. The vibrant visuals and hands-on materials brought new energy to our literacy centers and helped turn academic practice into joyful, meaningful experiences.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is now filled with more music, more color, and more opportunities for every student to shine.

Your support means more than words can express, and it has already begun to make a meaningful difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe addition of this iPad has opened up exciting new opportunities for my students to explore interactive educational apps, conduct research, and engage in creative projects. For many of them, having access to this technology at school is their first hands-on experience with such a powerful learning tool. It's helping us bring lessons to life in ways that simply weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the iPad is also supporting students who need extra help through accessibility features, language translation tools, and educational games that reinforce key skills in fun and engaging ways. Whether it's reading, math, science, or art, your gift is enriching the experience for every student in the room.\r\n\r\nYour generosity reminds us that there are people in the community who truly care about education and the future of our children.
