Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nMy students and I have been using the new resources every day, and they've already transformed the way we learn. One of our favorite projects so far has been a hands-on collaborative activity where students used the materials to rotate through learning stations. Each station focused on a different skill—problem-solving, reading comprehension, creative exploration—and students were fully engaged the entire time. One memorable moment was watching a group of students confidently take charge of their station and teach their peers using the new tools; it was a powerful example of how these resources promote teamwork and independence.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nTheir faces lit up! Many of them immediately asked, \"Are these for us?!\" They were excited, curious, and eager to dive in. Several students who are usually a bit more reserved became noticeably more confident when they realized these materials would help them explore lessons in a hands-on, accessible way. The excitement in the room created a wave of energy that carried into the rest of the day.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\n\r\nOur next step is to deepen their learning by applying these materials to a longer-term project. Students will now be using the resources to create small group presentations that show their understanding of the concepts we're studying. They'll plan, build, and demonstrate their ideas using the new tools, which will help them develop not only academic skills, but also communication, collaboration, and creative thinking. I'm excited to see how much further they will grow with the support of these resources.","fullyFundedDate":1758816447591,"projectUrl":"project/voices-rising-empowering-english-learne/9583215/","projectTitle":"Voices Rising: Empowering English Learners Through Language","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Olivares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9173371_orig.jpg?crop=652,652,x0,y52&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724956382464","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9173371"},{"teacherId":9173371,"projectId":9003687,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest thanks for your generous support and the thoughtful donations you provided to our classroom. Your contributions — including snacks, a teacher table, writing materials, and technology — have made a tremendous difference in our daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThanks to the snacks you provided, our students have been able to stay energized and focused throughout the day. For many of them, having access to something nourishing during class has helped them better engage in lessons and feel more comfortable in their learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe new teacher table has been a game-changer for both instruction and classroom organization. It's provided a functional and welcoming space for small group instruction, one-on-one support, and a more organized approach to daily lessons and materials.\r\n\r\nThe writing materials have sparked creativity and enthusiasm among our students. From journaling to story writing and classroom assignments, these supplies have allowed students to express themselves more freely and develop stronger writing habits.\r\n\r\nLastly, the technology you donated has opened doors to more interactive and personalized learning. Whether we're using educational apps, researching topics, or practicing skills, our students are gaining valuable tech experience and staying engaged in ways that truly support their growth.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a more supportive, stimulating, and well-rounded classroom environment — one where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us, thank you for making this possible.

My special learners needs have really shifted over the years. In addition to academic needs, and behavioral needs, my student's have increased in their needs for sensory input. \r\n With your donations, I was able to get a chair that spins. There is a lot of research that suggests that students with ADHD who are able to spin, are able to increase their focus, reduce anxiety and manage stress. I also got a hug sensory chair, which provides a squeeze to students. Students can rock, bounce, and be squeezed. By having an alternate seating option, students are able to get sensory input and this assists with them being able to regulate their behaviors. In turn, students show increased focus, and ability to participate in classroom instruction appropriately.\r\n I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generous donations. My classroom of special learners is forever grateful. We appreciate you giving us tools that we need so that we can be self managers, and focus on our learning! \r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1734123668680,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-tools-allow-for-self-regulation/8933252/","projectTitle":"Sensory Tools Allow for Self Regulation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1451989_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1555828824506","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tguy"},{"teacherId":1451989,"projectId":8556782,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity. Your donations are beyond appreciated, from the bottom of my heart. I got hands on supplies, which really enables me to provide hands on learning experiences for students and to provide my students with tools to regulate their emotions and behaviors. \r\n\r\n I received magnetic letter tiles, which we use on a daily basis to practice our sounding out, blending, and reading skills. Students love it! I got a privacy desk partition, which students use to focus on their learning activities, and as a tool if they are struggling to ignore distractions in the classroom. The students have the partition available when they need it. I also received a bouncy band for an individual desk, and you would not believe how much it assists students with being able to fidget, wiggle, and move, which then assists students with being able to focus and complete their work.\r\n\r\n Your donations have allowed me to create an environment that enriches and enhances my student's classroom learning experience.
