Because of your support we were able to receive a variety of products that encourage the growth and development of fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are used in handwriting, cutting, coloring and in personal skills like zipping a zipper or tying one's shoes. My students have benefited from your gift and enjoy our skills development time. Thank you for your generosity.\r\n\r\nYour gift is also impactful as I work in a Title 1 school. Title 1 schools receive funding that allow high-poverty schools to offer various programs, such as academic interventionists, smaller class sizes, additional staff, professional development, and family engagement activities to support at-risk students. And while we receive funding for these areas, funding for actual curricular supports is limited. Your gift and the support of Ripple in providing developmental tools has made a positive impact on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746787129521,"projectUrl":"project/growing-through-fine-motor-skills/9232334/","projectTitle":"Growing Through Fine Motor Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lenore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9226109_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746016661622","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9226109"},{"teacherId":7241504,"projectId":8570671,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of our classroom inclusivity project. My students were delighted and overwhelmed when they first saw the packages arriving for our classroom. I explained how we would use each item to make our classroom accessible to all of our students. We have talked all year about how equality is not always equal, and different students have different needs at different times.\r\n\r\nWe used the flexible seat in our calming corner. It allowed the students to sit or recline and added comfort to our calming space. We also enjoyed the decorations and books for our calming area. The clipboards allowed for flexible movement within the classroom, and students could easily partner up and move to a space that was productive for them away from our traditional desk groupings. The magnetic letters were a welcome addition to our small groups, allowing for increased hands on accessibility. \r\n\r\nIt would be impossible to overstate the impact that your generosity has had on our classroom.

In a heavily populated town such as Fort Collins Colorado, so many students go hungry more times than people care to admit. I also want to thank you for the playdough and playdough tools. Playdough is very expensive but I much admired item in my classroom. It is used when students are upset and need to \"squeeze out\" their feelings and emotions. It also helps students to build up the muscles in their hands which improves their ability to write and hold a pencil correctly.","fullyFundedDate":1723086386406,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-shipment-2024-08-0/8592133/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Shipment: 2024-08-07","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jaynes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3740937_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470850542256","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3740937"},{"teacherId":3740937,"projectId":8568233,"letterContent":"I can not thank you enough for your generous donation to my project.

They really have become motivated by the ability to use them while reading around the classroom. Students also have the ability to use the flower pillows at their desks as a reward. They also love the games, making indoor recess seem more exciting! \r\nAs a first year teacher, these things are an amazing addition to my classroom that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise.

These books have already made a significant impact on my students, sparking their curiosity and helping them grow as readers. Your support has truly enriched our learning environment, and I wanted to share how these books are transforming our classroom.\r\n\r\nIn our daily reading sessions, we use these new texts to develop critical skills, such as comprehension, vocabulary, and sequencing. Beyond the technical skills, the books are introducing my students to diverse perspectives and encouraging their imaginations. Many of my students are non-vocal and use a speech device to communicate. For every new book we read, I make a fluency chart, sentence builders, and sequencing activities that correlate with the books. They are able to display that they understand the content of the books by using the materials I have made along with their speech devices. It is very cool to see them grow in understanding about the parts of the books (like the title, author, setting, characters, etc...), the purpose of books (to tell a story), and that it can be a gratifying experience. \r\n\r\nThe joy these books have brought is immeasurable. One student who previously showed little interest in reading has become enthralled with Charlotte's Web, often staying after class to discuss the story. If I needed a substitute teacher and planned an alternative activity, I often came back with a note saying that the student really wanted to continue reading the story, so they finished another chapter. \r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and belief in the power of education. Your contribution is not only helping my students develop a love of reading but also building skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. Many of my students get little to no exposure to children's literature outside of the school setting. Providing them with a rich variety and exposure to different types of books will impact their lives forever.","fullyFundedDate":1727964323072,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-futures-one-book-at-a-t/8833020/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Futures: One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sarah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9622189"},{"teacherId":4033051,"projectId":8388002,"letterContent":"On behalf of the entire classroom, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation in support of our educational materials.
