They are thrilled to have a notebook that improves their writing or a scissors that makes fine motor activities easier for them. \r\nI have had a few left handed teachers comment that they wish there was more resources and accommodations for them as a child, when they were learning how to complete things as a left-handed student. \r\nThere are so many fun moments I have not been able to capture in pictures: students creating fall themed art, students cutting out projects, hanging up writing samples with paper from the specialized notebooks. \r\n\r\nBeing able to have these supplies in place on the first day of school made a difference for kids feeling seen and valued. They didn't have to wait to struggle through something or be flexible and work with a right handed scissors. They just got what they needed from the start. \r\nI am really grateful to have found Donors Choose. This is the first school year I have used this as a resource and I have been able to fund more for my students in so many ways. The smallest things can make the biggest difference in someones' day.

This year is my first year teaching language arts in almost a decade, and to say our resources are limited is an understatement. As special education classrooms we have access to the novel sets that the general education students use, but little else. Kids with reading deficits need specialized instruction and teachers need the proper tools to provide that instruction effectively. \r\n\r\nThis REWARDS curriculum is a perfect fit for my students. We just started using it a couple of weeks ago, but I can already see improvements. My students were ready to make the big leap to go from single to multisyllable words, and REWARDS gives them strategies to use to make that leap. `When I read with kids I can see them starting to apply some of the strategies, like identifying prefixes and suffixes and breaking the words into parts that contain just one vowel or vowel team. I look forward to continuing to see them grow! Thank you again, so much. You have made a difference in students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1785339295083,"projectUrl":"project/help-discouraged-middle-school-readers-b/10387034/","projectTitle":"Help Discouraged Middle-School Readers Build the Skills They Need!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vaubel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10535888"},{"teacherId":10481405,"projectId":10202042,"letterContent":"The donations I received have been so helpful to my students already. As the school year has started I have been able to meet so many student needs and accommodations despite experiencing significant budget cuts in our district. \r\n\r\nMany students need various physical inputs that support regulating their sensory systems- such as gum or chewy jewelry. To have these things in place at the start of the school year has been a true gift for students and staff alike. \r\n\r\nAs a related service staff member who supports multiple special education teachers across grade levels I have been able to ensure that all accommodations on IEPs have the necessary supplies provided. Teachers have been so responsive and appreciative to have these materials ready to go without having to buy things with their own money. \r\n\r\nThe generosity of all of the donors who gave to this project is so appreciated- more than I am able to put into words.","fullyFundedDate":1781779835447,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-supports-for-ot/10202042/","projectTitle":"Sensory Supports for OT","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. DeMers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10481405_orig.png?crop=726,726,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776438882945","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10481405"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74581","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":779,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":74581,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heritage E - STEM Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heritage E - STEM Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/isd-197-west-st-paul-mendota-heights-eagan-area-schools-/heritage-middle-school/74581"}
