To know someone thought of them enough to make sure our classroom needs are met means the world to them and to me. \r\nWe are incredibly thankful for each and every item. We have so many supplies and tools to organize. \r\nWith our art supplies we were able to create a published book that will be a keepsake for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1768181477440,"projectUrl":"project/2nd-grade-needs/10006086/","projectTitle":"2nd Grade Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Childers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9558834"},{"teacherId":10404441,"projectId":10021104,"letterContent":"My students were so excited when the new sensory tools and reinforcement items arrived. Many immediately smiled, explored the materials, and eagerly asked to use them during our daily routines. These resources have quickly become an important part of our classroom. We use the sensory items during transitions, independent work time, and small-group instruction to help students stay calm, focused, and ready to learn. The reinforcement items are used to celebrate positive choices, task completion, and progress toward individual goals.\r\n\r\nOne special moment was watching a student who often struggles during transitions successfully move from one activity to the next while using a calming sensory tool. Another student proudly earned a preferred reinforcement after completing a challenging task independently. These moments may seem small, but they are huge victories for my students and help build confidence each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are continuing to grow in communication, independence, and self-regulation. Our next steps are using these tools to support longer work periods, stronger social skills, and continued progress toward IEP goals. Thank you for helping create a classroom where every student can feel successful and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1768829580918,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-supports-for-successful-learners/10021104/","projectTitle":"Sensory Supports for Successful Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dava","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404441"},{"teacherId":2067793,"projectId":10009395,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to my latest project.

We love creating in GATE and the book is perfect resource. \r\n\r\nA few of my students love creating the simple machines models in the Lego Technic book.

Over the years, there has been a lot of wear and tear and sometimes having new materials becomes a luck of the draw.\r\nIt may not seem like a lot, but these few things make a big impact in our day. My students will be able to listen to audio on their Chromebooks without interrupting the class and without having to bring their personal ones from home back and forth to school each day. We have run low on dividers and so now students can sit at their seats during testing rather than to sit at alternate desks due to a lack of dividers. Having new colored pencils and a colored pencil sharpener will keep my new regular pencil sharpener in better shape. An abundant supply of pencils and erasers is always needed to ensure students are actually working and not trying to sharpen or locate a pencil to write with or an eraser.\r\nThe students were pleasantly surprised to see some updated materials and promised to take good care of them. I certain hope they show some consideration and thanks for what you have gifted them with.
