Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my students and in the way they experience learning.\r\nMy students learn in unique ways, and many require hands-on, sensory-friendly tools in order to stay regulated, focused, and engaged. Because of your support, I am able to work toward providing busy boards, manipulatives, and interactive learning materials that are not simply \"extras,\" but essential tools that help my students access instruction in a way that works best for them. These materials allow learning to be joyful, purposeful, and developmentally appropriate.\r\nBusy boards support sensory regulation and self-calming skills, helping students remain ready to learn throughout the day. Manipulatives strengthen fine motor development, early math understanding, and problem-solving skills while encouraging independence and confidence. Interactive and hands-on tools promote focus, reduce frustration, and allow students to actively participate in lessons rather than feeling overwhelmed by traditional learning methods.\r\nWhat makes your support especially impactful is that these tools benefit not only academic growth, but also emotional and behavioral development. When students feel regulated, capable, and successful, they are more willing to take risks, communicate, and engage with peers and adults. Your generosity directly supports these moments of growth and helps create a classroom environment where all learners feel valued and supported.\r\nEvery contribution—large or small—plays a role in helping my students meet their individual developmental and academic goals. Your willingness to invest in inclusive education sends a powerful message to my students: that their needs matter and that their learning is worth supporting.\r\nThank you again for your generosity, belief in inclusive education, and commitment to helping my students succeed. I am deeply grateful for your support and for the positive impact you are making every day.","fullyFundedDate":1760365734283,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-learning-with-every-touch/9631810/","projectTitle":"“Unlocking Learning with Every Touch”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10199446"},{"teacherId":10041408,"projectId":9372734,"letterContent":"The flexible seating options for my students have been extremely helpful in my classroom! My students, being Kindergartners, can get fidgety during the day and this allows them to be a little more comfortable in the classroom to help them focus. It has helped tremendously to create a better learning environment for them!\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when we first introduced the new seating options! They get excited to choose their new chair/ seating spot for the day and they are a lot more comfortable when they are working, which leads to them focusing a lot more during lessons/ activities. This will give my students the best chance to succeed and grow in a classroom at such a young age. \r\n\r\nMy next step is to get rid of most of my desks eventually, to create more space for all of my flexible seating options. I am going to need to get small plastic organizers to give students a place to put their supplies instead of desks to make this option a possibility.
