They couldn't wait to see what was inside, and when we opened them together, the energy in the room was palpable. Having brand-new, high-quality materials instantly made them feel valued and eager to get to work. It was a wonderful moment that set a positive tone for our whole classroom community.\r\n\r\nWe have already put these resources to great use during our daily lessons and hands-on projects. Having reliable supplies readily available has allowed my students to dive straight into their work without delay or frustration. For instance, during a recent group project, every student had access to the tools they needed to sketch, organize, and present their ideas seamlessly. The new materials have fostered greater collaboration and creative expression among all of my learners.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to build on this momentum by tackling our upcoming unit, where students will use these supplies to create individual portfolio projects. Because of your generosity, my students can focus entirely on learning, creating, and dreaming big. Thank you for investing in our classroom and making a real difference in their educational journey!","fullyFundedDate":1788634261325,"projectUrl":"project/small-supplies-big-dreams/10583792/","projectTitle":"Small supplies, Big Dreams","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Byers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10646639_orig.jpg?crop=1249,1249,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1789310802784","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10646639"},{"teacherId":832891,"projectId":10051661,"letterContent":"My students love the hands-on materials and centers that were donated to the classroom. They loved building structures with the \"straws\" and \"gears\" and would try to make them as tall as the ceiling. They also loved using the math and reading small group materials to help build reading and math confidence. \r\nWhen they first saw the materials, they were so excited to break the boxes open to see what they could build with the new items. They also worked together to sort the different shapes on the sorting mats. \r\nI would like to provide more learning activities that involve playdough, paints (watercolor and other media), and even clay models to display and later take home.","fullyFundedDate":1773667720120,"projectUrl":"project/future-thinkers-hub/10051661/","projectTitle":"Future Thinkers Hub","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bennett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp832891_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769067790608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/832891"},{"teacherId":7288138,"projectId":7994687,"letterContent":"It has been such a blessing to have the flexible seating and the cubbies, as well as the other items!\r\n\r\nMy students were extremely excited to be able to sit on a bean bag or one of the donut chairs! I allow them to sit on them in the library when they are doing silent or buddy reading, when they are working in a small group, or when they are chosen as student of the day. It has also helped my students who have trouble sitting in a restless chair all day, as they are able to choose a different type of chair which helps them focus.\r\n\r\nThe cubbies have been a life saver!

I have been able to utilize these books during speech therapy to help students with generalization of target sounds to reading and conversation. These books are recommended for use when implementing \"the complexity approach\" during speech therapy. The research shows that targeting the most difficult sounds for the students in 3 cluster blends such as /skr-/, /skw-/, and /spl-/ leads to generalization of all of the sounds, hence the name \"complexity approach.\" Targets are chosen in therapy based upon analysis of the student's speech sound productions when completing a phonemic inventory probe. \r\n\r\nI have been able to incorporate the books into therapy, and the books are highly engaging.
