These materials will be put to good use during the 2025-26 school year.\r\n\r\nMy students have been super excited about the variety of smelly/stinky stickers. They love debating about which one smells \"the best\" and \"the worst\". The plastic file folders have been perfect for creating file folder games for my students. The cardstock has been used to create adapted books for my students to grow their language skills. And the crazy gel pens have been a big hit with my students who love how they sparkle and change colors. Although I forgot to include a picture of the monster craft, it was a huge hit with the PreK students. \r\n\r\nDonors like you allow me to have a variety of tools to use with my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755707250549,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-the-speech-therapy-room/9495290/","projectTitle":"Essentials for the Speech Therapy Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Whittington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1106525_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1489022643158","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrswspeech"},{"teacherId":7582044,"projectId":9225587,"letterContent":"Thank you for giving to this project.

Thank you for supporting reading and helping students have the freedom to choose the books they enjoy.

It was such a powerful moment to see students who are often hesitant about physical activity suddenly jumping in with confidence and smiles.\r\n\r\nWe have already used the materials in a variety of ways—from skill-building activities to team games that promote cooperation and sportsmanship. One highlight was a teamwork challenge where students had to problem-solve and communicate using the new equipment. The laughter, determination, and pride they showed made it clear how impactful these resources truly are. These tools are helping me create lessons that engage every student, no matter their skill level, and allow them to experience success in physical education.\r\n\r\nAs we continue, our next steps are to use these materials to build long-term fitness habits and deeper social-emotional skills such as leadership, perseverance, and respect.

The engagement was absolutely phenomenal. \r\n\r\nBooks can be tricky for students with exceptional needs. The books that couldn't be eaten or torn, the sound effects, the tactile experiences they were provided were so beautiful.

It was hard to get the images without their faces to share because of the sheer joy and laughter.

The students absolutely lost their minds when we added them to the classroom. It did require some teaching and modeling to show them the RIGHT way to do it-as it would with all children :) Even as an adult, I enjoy swinging and bringing this into the classroom was absolutely amazing.
