The impact of your gift has been immediate and truly wonderful. My students absolutely love the new games; they have transformed our lessons and Friday Fun Game Day into something they eagerly look forward to. I've seen significant engagement as they work on phonics, sight words, and reading comprehension in a fun, pressure-free environment. The hands-on, engaging nature of these resources has been instrumental in boosting their confidence and making the abstract concepts of reading feel tangible and exciting.\r\n\r\nWhat's more, several of the tools and games you donated have been adapted into \"take-home\" activities, allowing our students to extend their practice and reinforce their learning outside of school hours. This continuity of practice is vital for closing reading gaps, and we are already seeing the positive effects in their classroom performance and enthusiasm for reading. Knowing that they are supported by such a thoughtful member of the community makes this work even more fulfilling. Thank you again for investing in their literacy journey; your kindness is helping these young learners build the foundation for a lifetime of successful reading.","fullyFundedDate":1756309219833,"projectUrl":"project/phonics-fun-in-reading-intervention/9324939/","projectTitle":"Phonics Fun in Reading Intervention","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lemke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4824597_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746526998345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4824597"},{"teacherId":6382639,"projectId":9313969,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of fidget tools, timers, and sensory items.

We also created a sensory area in our classroom with some of the items. It's a cozy space where students can take a break, use the fidgets, explore the sensory items, and practice self-regulation.\r\n\r\nThe kids absolutely love having these choices available. The timers are helping them manage breaks, and the fidgets and sensory items are giving them healthy ways to ease anxiety and regain focus.
