The students love them and so do their families! I was able to write an encouraging message to each one of my Kindergarten students, which brought smiles, and a few happy tears! I also made sure that the families understood that this gift was made possible by you and Donors Choose (written message in the books)! \r\n The families of the students loved the idea that these books will follow their student throughout their education as a keepsake for all teachers and staff can write messages to them! I heard parents say, \"Thank you so much for this special gift!\" and \"We look forward to re-reading all the messages to our High School graduates in 2037! ...and again when they finish college!\"\r\n We can not thank you enough for your generosity and kindness to our Kindergarten students at Lake Valley Elementary! You have brought so much joy to them all today and you have truly blessed these students for a lifetime.

One is a game that includes matching puzzles pieces to a photo of a chid's face showing a common emotion. This helps my students learn to recognize and label emotions based on facial features. It also helps with visual perception skills, so it's a doubly helpful game. I have found it has been useful for even middle school age students as well as the younger children.\r\n\r\nWith a group of boys who need to improve their social skills we have used a set of board games that are helping them learn about emotions and how to respond when they are experiencing emotions that are difficult to control. While playing the games they are also practicing taking turns, being supportive of others, and good sportsmanship. I will be using the games with another group of students soon.\r\n\r\nThank you for contributing to my project and helping these students. I anticipate that these games will keep being used to help future students for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1738445096108,"projectUrl":"project/games-for-learning-social-emotional-skil/9057119/","projectTitle":"Games for Learning Social Emotional Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6091908"},{"teacherId":6091908,"projectId":8541795,"letterContent":"I am so grateful that I was able to purchase a laminating machine to use at school, along with laminating sheets and fasteners. I have been able to create a lot of materials that are used with the students with special needs. \r\n\r\nOne of the attached photos tries to show a variety of the items I have made so far. They include adapted books that help students be more engaged as a book is read to a group. I make color copies of specific pictures from the book and laminate them and add Velcro to both the picture in the book and on the picture itself. When each page is read the student is able to add the picture to the location in the book on the correct page. I have also made \"put in boxes.\" These have a fun picture on the top of the box, such as a shoe box, with a hole to place objects or pictures. I have a barn and the student opens the barn door to place small plastic farm animals inside. I also made one with Cookie Monster to place laminated pictures of cookies in his mouth. Most recently during an arctic animal theme the students used tongs to put small plastic fish in the mouth of a polar bear. One of the other attached photos shows a visual schedule that has pictures of the steps for circle time. A student is also shown using one of many matching tasks that I have also been able to make. He is matching numbers to each card after counting how many crayons there are. \r\nThese are just some examples of items that I make for the students at school. I am able to make new books and tasks based on the current needs of the students or the current theme. I hope you realize how helpful your donation has been to the students at my school.","fullyFundedDate":1733170388174,"projectUrl":"project/visual-supports-for-autistic-learners/8541795/","projectTitle":"Visual Supports for Autistic Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6091908"},{"teacherId":6727977,"projectId":8946935,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping to fund our class project! We recently used our new bean bags for one of our Christmas games before our break - Elf Express. The bean bags were Santa's toys that the Elves were collecting in a relay style game. The students had a great time working with their teams to move Santa's Sleigh around the gym while collecting the toys.\r\n\r\nThe students noticed the new bean bags right away, and how soft they are. Using a variety of sizes and textures with our game supplies helps students with a variety of abilities and needs.\r\n\r\nSoon we will be starting our Floor Hockey unit where we will use the storage tubs to hold our floor hockey sticks. This storage will enable the students to easily pick out and put away our hockey sticks.

I am always looking for reliable and in depth resources to reach all of my students. Sometimes, I am able to find content in Spanish that directly follows our lessons, but so often I need to lean on translating with AI. By receiving these books, our new ELL students have been able to dive into primary resources and feel more a part of our learning. I have been able to share some of our rich, and sometimes complicated, historical events. By combining these with videos that also can be translated, these students are able to connect to with our class and feel included. I think that is the most important part of having any new student. School is not just about learning, but the feeling of being a part of community. Thank you for providing a piece of how this happens. Your kind gift goes further than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1728673966108,"projectUrl":"project/early-history-of-the-united-states-books/8832794/","projectTitle":"Early History of the United States Books in Spanish","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fetty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7329284_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647216602268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7329284"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65087","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":404,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":36.7,"schoolId":65087,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lake Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lake Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/humboldt-unified-school-district/lake-valley-elementary-school/65087"}
