Your thoughtful contribution has made an incredible impact on our classroom, providing a unique and effective medium for our students to express themselves. Many of our young learners struggle with verbal communication, and the playdough has offered them a creative and tactile way to share their thoughts and feelings. It has not only encouraged imaginative play but also provided a safe space for them to explore their emotions and work through complex ideas in a non-threatening, hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, students are now able to connect with their emotions more easily and engage in activities that foster both emotional and cognitive growth. Whether through building representations of their experiences or simply enjoying the sensory benefits of play, the playdough has helped them open up and feel more confident in their self-expression. Your kindness has truly made a difference, and we are so grateful for your support in helping create a more inclusive and expressive environment for all our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746785321693,"projectUrl":"project/molding-our-thoughts/9199461/","projectTitle":"Molding our Thoughts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrschensgotclass"},{"teacherId":10077401,"projectId":9510304,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support.
