You could see in their faces that they were anxious to try out their new equipment.\r\nThe class lesson is more interesting when they can learn hands on, it is so important for my special needs students because they learn valuable skills that will teach them how to be more independent at home. Their faces light up when they learn how to use different appliances and cook and clean. They are learning real life skills that are very important. Future students will use them for a long time! I thank you from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1746475479858,"projectUrl":"project/making-life-skills-fun/9313556/","projectTitle":"Making Life Skills Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9311836_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696077987132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9311836"},{"teacherId":9311836,"projectId":8952797,"letterContent":"My students are using the donated material at gym time.
