Binders and dividers are being used to organize assignments and activities by subject and IEP goal, allowing students to independently track their work and follow routines with greater confidence. Filler paper, graph paper, and spiral notebooks are supporting daily writing, math practice, and progress monitoring. Scissors and Sharpies have been used for hands-on projects and to create student work displays, which has boosted pride and ownership in their learning. Headphones are giving students access to digital tools and directions without distractions, and erasable pens are encouraging them to take risks, revise their work, and build persistence without fear of making mistakes. When students first saw the materials, they were excited and eager to use them—especially the colorful supplies and interactive tools—which immediately increased participation and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment has been during our after-school math tutoring program, where students use the whiteboard sleeves for math games designed to support the development of math fact fluency. They've been able to practice skills in a fun, low-pressure way, quickly correcting mistakes and building confidence as they go. I've also begun preparing binders for next year to ensure students can start strong with clear systems already in place. Moving forward, students will continue using these materials to strengthen both their academic skills and independence, as we build on current lessons and provide more opportunities for hands-on, engaging learning experiences. These resources are helping create a classroom environment where students feel supported, capable, and proud of their progress.","fullyFundedDate":1768334041609,"projectUrl":"project/organize-to-shine-iep-learning-made-fun/10010440/","projectTitle":"Organize to Shine: IEP Learning Made Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Callis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9509376_orig.jpg?crop=3444,3444,x566,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720828714715","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9509376"},{"teacherId":6558306,"projectId":9998932,"letterContent":"Your generosity has a powerful and lasting impact on my students each day. With access to new books, students are able to strengthen their reading skills, explore topics that interest them, and develop a genuine love for learning. Many of my students do not always have books readily available at home, so having these resources in the classroom creates meaningful opportunities for growth and discovery. Students were especially excited to see the new books and eagerly explored them with curiosity and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThe incentives you help provide encourage students to set goals, stay focused, and take pride in their achievements. They are excited to work hard, knowing their effort and perseverance are recognized and celebrated. When the incentives were introduced, students showed genuine excitement and motivation, which boosted engagement and positive behavior.\r\n\r\nClassroom supplies ensure that every student is prepared and able to fully participate in lessons without barriers. Recently, students used shapes created with a Cricut machine to deepen their understanding of geometric figures. They sorted the shapes by their attributes and analyzed them, strengthening both their critical thinking and math skills through hands-on exploration.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my classroom is a place where students feel motivated, confident, and inspired to succeed.

The project is usually one of the highlights of the school year as we are able to celebrate the unique environment of our desert surroundings and learn more about how our ecosystem is impacted by every day activities. \r\n With these supplies, we are able to extend our learning past the science and reading unit we just completed.

I also opened the boxes in front of students, so they could take ownership of the new books and flexible seating options.\r\n\r\nLastly, students are excited to read the new I Survive books.

In our self-contained K–2 autism classroom, we are using the new materials during small-group centers and structured play activities to support reading, math, and fine motor development. For example, students eagerly gather around the Light Table Manipulative Center to explore letters and shapes, while others practice identifying sounds and building words with the Alphabet Rockets and Alphabet Mystery Box. The Tactile Liquid Letters have been especially helpful for students who benefit from sensory input, allowing them to trace letters while strengthening early writing and letter recognition skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. The bright colors, hands-on features, and sensory elements instantly captured their attention. Students who sometimes hesitate to participate were motivated to join in, and many were smiling, exploring, and proudly showing their work to teachers and classmates. These resources have increased engagement and helped reduce frustration by giving students multiple ways to access the same learning concepts.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using these materials to build foundational literacy and early math skills through multisensory learning. Our next steps include expanding letter-sound practice and simple word building while incorporating collaborative activities that encourage communication and social interaction. Because of these donations, my students have more opportunities to learn through play, explore new concepts with confidence, and make meaningful progress toward their goals.","fullyFundedDate":1768149661177,"projectUrl":"project/learning-manipulatives-for-growing-minds/9995343/","projectTitle":"Learning Manipulatives for Growing Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp688394_orig.jpg?crop=697,697,x0,y11&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752082632940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/688394"},{"teacherId":9126237,"projectId":9989825,"letterContent":"The materials you provided my students are allowing them to learn more about their emotions and how to express and regulate their feelings in appropriate manners.
