The materials you helped provide for my students are not simply books, but they are tools for learning, growth, and connection. \r\n\r\nBooks help my students with develop social-emotional understanding. With A Little Spot of Emotions, they are learning to identify, name, and express their feelings - a critical skill for both communication and regulation - in a way that is engaging for them. We've had meaningful conversations about how emotions can feel different in our bodies and things we can do to regulate emotions when they get to be too much. \r\n\r\nOther books purchased, such as Biscuit Goes to School and Herman the Helper, are helping my students develop important foundational skills such as early language development and vocabulary, perspective-taking, and problem solving. Repetition in books help children understand story sequencing, make predictions, and give them the ability to use complete sentences to describe what they know from the story with confidence.\r\n\r\nThese books, along with all of the other therapy materials provided from this project, have made my sessions more engaging and effective for my students. I wish you could see their excitement when they learn I have a new book to share with them! The feeling of seeing children curious and excited to learn is like no other. Thank you for supporting my students and their communication journeys. Your impact is real, and it is deeply appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1746785732405,"projectUrl":"project/ms-custers-early-speech-language-lea/9136306/","projectTitle":"Ms. Custer's Early Speech & Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Custer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9444108"},{"teacherId":3897710,"projectId":9129436,"letterContent":"We are a whole month into the school year and we have been busy using the supplies you donated to us!

The stepping stones will be used during movement breaks and physical therapy sessions to help students build balance and coordination. Noise-canceling headphones will be available for students who need a quiet moment to regulate and refocus. Fidgets and other tactile tools will be incorporated into lessons to keep hands busy and minds engaged.\r\n\r\nWhen we return at the end of August, I know there will be smiles, curiosity, and lots of \"Can I try?\" moments as students explore their new learning environment.

One especially memorable moment was during our \"Under the Sea\" art project. With their new supplies, the children created vibrant ocean scenes using sponges, glitter, and tissue paper. They proudly shared their artwork with classmates, describing the sea creatures they imagined and the stories behind their pictures. The materials didn't just enhance their art—they sparked storytelling, collaboration, and confidence.\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly transformed our classroom into a space where imagination leads the way. Right now, we're exploring a unit on emotions through art. The children are using colors and shapes to express how they feel, helping them build emotional awareness and communication skills. Next, we'll be creating a classroom mural that represents our community, using a mix of painting, collage, and stamping techniques.
