From the moment we opened the boxes, the excitement in the classroom was contagious. We have already begun using many of the materials, and they have made an immediate impact on learning and engagement.\r\n\r\nThe wobble seats have been especially motivating students love having the option to move while they read, and it has encouraged them to find books that truly interest them. This has been a powerful way to build excitement and joy around reading.\r\n\r\nWe have also incorporated the tactile letters and numbers into our learning centers. Several of my students had been reversing letters and numbers, but after practicing with the sandpaper tracing cards, I have already noticed growth and fewer errors in their writing. These tools have provided meaningful, hands-on practice that truly supports their progress.\r\n\r\nThe scented playdough has been another classroom favorite! We use it in our calming corner, for forming letters and numbers, and simply for joyful play. It has quickly become a versatile tool that helps with focus, creativity, and self-regulation.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity. Your support has created a more engaging, motivating, and nurturing classroom environment. My students are thriving because of you, and I am so grateful for the lasting impact these resources will have on their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1750774713688,"projectUrl":"project/celebrating-different-learning-styles/9386350/","projectTitle":"Celebrating Different Learning Styles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dixon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10003026_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y115&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751840270938","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10003026"},{"teacherId":9546529,"projectId":8403069,"letterContent":"This project has created so much engagement in my classroom that has catered to my student success!
