Your generosity has brought essential resources into our classroom, and the impact is already shining through in our students' excitement and engagement.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students now have access to reading materials, sustainable visuals and supports, creative ways to write and draw. All of which will help them learn, create, and dream bigger.\r\n\r\nI've already seen their faces light up as they explore and use these new materials. Your kindness doesn't just meet a need — it inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and shows our students that there are people out there who truly believe in them.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making a real difference.

The physical therapists at the school have been using the weights to strengthen the student's leg muscles for improving their independence with ambulating in the school or general mobility in the school setting.\r\n\r\nOur students have also benefited from the use of theraband to work their muscles for activities of daily living and participating in the school environment. The varying levels of resistance of the different colored theraband meet the needs of each individual student. \r\n\r\nOur students, who have various disabilities, are working on improving various gross motor skills such as sitting with stability, walking with or without an assistive device, and standing in standing devices. The materials from this purchase will help improve their strength to participate in these activities with less assistance.","fullyFundedDate":1732651139807,"projectUrl":"project/physical-therapy-supplies-for-students-w/8947076/","projectTitle":"Physical Therapy Supplies for Students With Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Linehan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9839440"},{"teacherId":9839440,"projectId":8947074,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations.

Some of the things we use daily are peg number boards where students simultaneously work on their counting, number recognition, and fine motor skills. Alphabet puzzle and tracing board are used daily to learn about letters, letter-sound correspondence, and writing letters. We also work a lot on shape recognition and sorting, and all the students love it! Sand timers are the biggest hit and a nice enrichment to using regular timers and timers on smart board. They help students manage transitions between actvities, anticipate upcoming changes in the schedule, and they manage focus during tasks. \r\nThank you all for your generous donations!","fullyFundedDate":1735692122706,"projectUrl":"project/help-k-2-special-ed-students-build-pre-a/8876753/","projectTitle":"Help K-2 Special Ed Students Build Pre-Academic Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Todoric","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9803728_orig.jpg?crop=1396,1396,x0,y241&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729348234736","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9803728"},{"teacherId":9794295,"projectId":8860011,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for funding supplies to my classroom. My classroom is comprised of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Intellectual Disabilities. The students in the classroom really like to work with their hands performing motor tasks and using sensory toys/activities to reduce anxiety. My students were very happy to see new materials.\r\n My students really liked using the tangram puzzle set and counting blocks. Every student enjoys creating puzzles from this tangram set. Some of the objects made were fish, birds and candy. The counting blocks were good for each student to put the number of sticks into each numbered block. The students learned to count up to 10 sticks. All my students enjoy using the sensory toys like fidgets and pop-its.
