With new visual organizers, folders, and labeling systems, our therapy space is now easier for students to navigate, helping them feel calm, confident, and ready to communicate.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has already made a meaningful difference. Students are taking more ownership of their materials, transitioning between activities more smoothly, and staying focused for longer periods. These organizational supports may seem small, but they directly strengthen communication skills—allowing students to find their visual aids quickly, access their speech sound cards independently, and participate more actively in therapy sessions. These moments of independence build pride, motivation, and real progress toward their communication goals.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of speech and language development and for investing in a program that helps students find their voices—literally and figuratively. Your generosity reminds our students that there are people cheering for them, celebrating their growth, and supporting their journey every step of the way. We are truly grateful for your kindness and excited to share the communication breakthroughs your donation helps make possible.","fullyFundedDate":1766786397142,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-a-communicative-and-organiz/9794904/","projectTitle":"Supplies for a Communicative and Organized Speech Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9894576"},{"teacherId":9894576,"projectId":9794988,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of play kitchen items for our speech therapy program.

We've been having an incredible time diving into our brand‑new recorders, and I'd love to share a special moment with you.\r\n\r\nAs soon as my students opened the recorder boxes for the first time, their faces lit up. Some gasped, some giggled, and a few even held the instruments like fragile treasures. One student whispered, \"We get to keep these?!\" Their excitement filled the room before a single note was played!\r\n\r\nSince then, we've jumped right into learning \"Hot Cross Buns,\" and it has been pure joy watching them discover how to make their first real melodies. They've been practicing finger positions, learning to control their breath, and celebrating every squeak—because squeaks mean progress!\r\n\r\nRight now, our big next step is preparing for our spring musical, Annie, at Langley! The students are already connecting what they're learning on the recorder to rhythm, pitch, and expression in the musical. The confidence they're gaining with these instruments is spilling over into their singing and stage work, and it's beautiful to see.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide recorders—it sparked curiosity, pride, and musical growth. Thank you for giving my students the tools to create something magical this spring.

Your generosity has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students. Many of them need movement in order to learn, and having safe, structured ways to wiggle has helped them feel more comfortable, regulated, and ready to participate throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThese tools have been especially powerful during our math groups. Math requires students to attend to multiple steps, hold information in their working memory, and stay focused for sustained periods of time. With the ability to move their bodies in appropriate ways, my students are better able to concentrate, stick with challenging problems, and fully engage in discussions and practice.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is a more inclusive, supportive learning environment where students can focus on learning instead of fighting their need to move.

They are using the cameras to capture classroom activities, learning centers, science observations, and special moments with their friends. Seeing their own photographs printed instantly has been incredibly exciting and has sparked rich conversations, storytelling, and early writing skills.\r\n\r\nThese cameras are also helping build confidence and creativity. My students feel proud when they take photos independently and share what they captured with their classmates.
