It was like a birthday celebration getting so many wonderful packages each day to add to our learning. My preschoolers noticed the puzzle boxes growing on the shelf and were so excited to see new items! \r\n\r\nWe now have a floor puzzle for each of our units of study. This will enhance our unit study by giving students opportunities to work together to build puzzles and provide great visual and team work skills. Each unit is 4 weeks long, and I'm confident these puzzles will be a highlight activity for kids. \r\n \r\nThank you for being so generous and for donating these amazing floor puzzles!

As an ECSE teacher working with children ages 3 to 5, many of whom have sensory needs and fine motor challenges, it was powerful to see them interact with tools designed just for them. The crawling tunnels, bounce chair, and rock-around quickly became favorite sensory supports, helping students regulate their energy and emotions during learning time.\r\n\r\nWe've also been using the craft trays, storage bins, and adaptive scissors to increase student independence during activities. The triangular pencils, egg crayons, and dot markers have made fine motor tasks more accessible, while the Three Little Pigs puzzle and storytelling puppets helped students practice retelling and expressive communication. One student, typically hesitant with art, completed an entire project using the new materials—something that brought real pride and joy to both student and teacher.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, our classroom is more inclusive, organized, and responsive to student needs. These resources help us create meaningful routines and engaging lessons every day. Your donation reminded my students that they are seen, valued, and deserving of a high-quality learning environment—and for that, we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1738786630595,"projectUrl":"project/these-ecse-student-need-you/8942056/","projectTitle":"These ECSE Student Need You!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ibe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9835636_orig.jpg?crop=889,889,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731529751975","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsibe"},{"teacherId":2961753,"projectId":8976467,"letterContent":"The donation of 140 headphones will have a tremendous impact across our campus.
