The table served as a structured space for learning, supporting one-on-one instruction and fostering focus. Sensory toys helped children with self-regulation, attention, and fine motor skills, especially those with sensory processing challenges. Baby dolls encouraged imaginative play and supported the development of social and emotional skills like empathy and nurturing behavior. The mirror aided in self-recognition and emotional awareness, enhancing activities around facial expressions and imitation. Lastly, puzzles promoted problem-solving, cognitive development, and turn-taking, all essential components of early learning and ABA-based interventions. Together, these tools created a rich, supportive environment for individualized learning and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1564573748553,"projectUrl":"project/preschool-technology/4252644/","projectTitle":"Preschool Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Haar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6495951_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746467913896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6495951"},{"teacherId":9850725,"projectId":9219093,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of this project! \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited and\r\nenjoyed using the compasses to locate north as part of a lab practice that involved learning about shadows.
