The social-emotional coping tools and behavioral support resources you helped provide have been invaluable for my team in guiding students toward their goals.\r\n\r\nThe Play-Doh was an absolute hit with every student! One child, in particular, learned to both spell and read his sight words using laminated sight word sheets and Play-Doh—what an exciting breakthrough! Paired with the textured alphabet and number cards, my students came into class eager to find and use these materials each day.\r\n\r\nWhile I've always loved creating homemade games, the purchased resources brought a new level of excitement. The Fidget CVC Word Games, Sneaky Elves Sight Word Game, Sight Word Carpet Markers, and Dino Stomp! were all instant favorites. These interactive tools made learning fun, and the academic and social growth I witnessed in my students was remarkable. The tablet doodle pads offered a refreshing alternative to traditional paper-and-pencil work, making writing practice more engaging.\r\n\r\nThe weighted stuffed animal was truly transformative. For many students, it became a reliable transition tool between activities and locations, especially for those who found change challenging. It also served as a calming, comforting companion during moments when students needed a break or emotional regulation.\r\n\r\nI even learned how to incorporate the sand tray—mess and all! Despite the cleanup, seeing my students' faces light up as they spelled words and explored concepts made every grain of sand worth it. The Bubblebrix letters and numbers were another huge success, helping students learn their basics while building fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills.\r\n\r\nLast year was my first time participating in Donors Choose, and I returned this year excited to explore new projects—only to realize I never sent my thank-you note. Please accept this heartfelt message, even many months later. Your generosity has left a lasting impact on my students' learning, growth, and joy in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1733249459709,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-hidden-brilliance-tools-for-e/8791037/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Hidden Brilliance: Tools for Exceptional Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kerstetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9752787_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y671&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727673818223","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752787"},{"teacherId":2364525,"projectId":8710949,"letterContent":"The resources that were purchased through your donation has INSPIRED my students to ENHANCE their READING and MATH skills in so many ways, but the BEST part is that they are having FUN doing it! \r\n\r\nThe MATH BOXES have taught my students more about adding, subtracting, time, money, place value and shapes!\r\n\r\nThe MATH and READING JOURNALS have helped my students learn more about foundational skills that will help strengthen that foundation to be more successful in their educational road to success! \r\n\r\nIt was so THOUGHTFUL and KIND for you to FUND our request, and it has definitely made an IMPACT on how my students have learned, and how much more they have learned because of it!\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU so very much for helping to EDUCATE the future!

It's truly amazing to see their excitement as they build, explore, and discover through play. You've helped to lay a strong foundation for their future academic success, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible generosity and support.

They made lots of connections to video games and technology and realized those modern things would not exist without math. \r\n\r\nStudents have also gotten to use the wonderful seating options to not always be at their desks.
