For many of our learners, especially those who benefit from sensory-rich activities, these manipulatives have provided new opportunities to participate, communicate, and feel successful.\r\nYour support didn't just provide materials—it created moments of joy, growth, and connection in our classroom every single day.

Watching their faces light up as the gears connect and start moving together has been incredible.\r\nMany of my students benefit from sensory-rich, interactive learning experiences. These gears give them the opportunity to build, experiment, and succeed in ways that traditional materials cannot always provide.\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is filled with more engagement, discovery, and joyful learning moments. Your kindness truly makes a difference for our students every single day.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in these amazing children and helping us create a classroom where learning is active, meaningful, and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1768147862925,"projectUrl":"project/learning-in-motion-large-magnetic-gears/9975483/","projectTitle":"Learning in Motion: Large Magnetic Gears for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ErIca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8933635"},{"teacherId":9173133,"projectId":9889722,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our Hands-On Space Science project!

The Lakeshore Science Tubs you helped fund will make abstract space concepts come alive through touch, movement, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping every student feel included, capable, and excited about learning science.

Because of your kindness, our classroom now has the Lakeshore Matter Science Tubs and hands-on manipulatives we needed to bring our energy and matter standards to life. The excitement on my students' faces as they opened the materials said everything—these tools are already transforming the way they learn.\r\n\r\nMy students are now able to explore solids, liquids, and gases by touching, sorting, and observing real items. They're building models, running simple investigations, and asking questions that show a deeper understanding of how energy affects matter. Concepts that once felt abstract are now things they can hold, move, and see in action.\r\nYour gift has had an especially meaningful impact on our students with disabilities. The tactile materials, visual supports, and step-by-step activity cards have made science more accessible and empowering for them. They are participating with more confidence, communicating their ideas, and engaging in activities that were previously out of reach without these manipulatives.\r\n\r\nThe materials are not only helping students learn science—they're helping them discover that they can be scientists. Their curiosity has grown, their teamwork has improved, and they are truly experiencing the joy of hands-on learning.\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for giving every student the opportunity to explore, discover, and shine. Your generosity will make a lasting difference throughout the year and for many classes to come.","fullyFundedDate":1767064384296,"projectUrl":"project/matter-in-motion-hands-on-science-manip/9933392/","projectTitle":"Matter in Motion: Hands-On Science Manipulatives!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jennifer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9173133_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749430538881","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9173133"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121607","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":121607,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Guiding Hand Preschool - Gallia County on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Guiding Hand Preschool - Gallia County","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/-county-run-/guiding-hand-preschool-gallia-county/121607"}
