On behalf of my students and myself at Elk Meadows Elementary School, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support and contributions. Your donations have made a significant impact on our classroom, particularly in supporting students with exceptional learning needs.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on activities that your donations have facilitated are especially powerful. These activities foster independence, boost confidence, and encourage active exploration. As my students interact with varied learning objects, they build essential skills in problem-solving, coordination, and self-regulation. This comprehensive growth is invaluable and is reflected in their increased enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nUltimately, the resources you have provided help create an inclusive and stimulating environment that supports individual development and lifelong learning. Your support is instrumental in our mission to equip our students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and commitment to our students' futures. Your kindness truly makes a difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1757192594296,"projectUrl":"project/enriching-learning-for-all-through-multi/9635370/","projectTitle":"Enriching Learning for All Through Multisensory Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. T.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3704034_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470091116925","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3704034"},{"teacherId":6224436,"projectId":9514571,"letterContent":"My students are loving the chair organizers that we got.

Many of the concepts that we learn are foundational skills that students will need for years to come. Multiplication is one of those important foundational skills. It is so important for students to become efficient in their multiplication facts. The multiplication games that I received have been such a fun, engaging way for them to practice. They have loved playing Math Facts War and are really excited to try the other games that we got.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing a way to find some fun and engaging lessons through a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card.

A space that would be a place where they could come and feel calm and safe. A place where these amazing students could come in and leave the anxiety and chaos of daily life at the door.\r\nThe bookshelves provided a pleasing place to organize our large class library. I want to help instill these kids with a love of reading and that means having a large variety of books so that they can find stories that they relate to and love. \r\nThe plants and lamp help create an atmosphere that is calm and stress free.

My partner and I get to teach all of the kids at our school. Every 45 minutes we get another class coming in teaching kindergartners through 6th grade. The kids tell me all the time that this is their favorite class and it's because they get to be creative, no wrong answers and they discover more of their strengths and the things that they are good at. \r\nThe funded makerspace becomes a shared hub where students can collaborate, showcase projects and celebrate creativity. By providing durable materials and reusable tools, the grant creates a long-term resource. Maker materials help connect science, technology, engineering, arts, and math in authentic projects, such as desiging and building. We have about 6 reward days throughout the year and these are the days many of the kids choose the makerspace hub and it's so great to be able to keep this makerspace hub alive with the great materials.\r\nThe headphones that we received allow the kids to focus with their chromebooks on their coding and typing projects. I've been teaching typing for 15 years and this year I have a 6th grader who types over 100 wpm - so exciting - and I have a lot of girls discovering coding for the first time and that they like it. \r\nThank you again for your support and for the Donor's Choose program.
