Your donations have made such a meaningful impact on my students, and we are so grateful for the new resources we get to explore!\r\n\r\nMy students and I have begun using the new materials during our speech and language sessions, and they have made our activities much more engaging and hands-on. One of the most exciting additions has been the mouth model, which has been incredibly helpful when teaching students how to produce certain speech sounds. Being able to visually see where the tongue, teeth, and lips should go has helped my students better understand how to shape sounds correctly. It has immensely increased their speech intelligibility which in turn has increased their confidence in their communication skills!\r\n\r\nThe farm animal set has also been a big hit in our sessions. We.ve used the animals during play-based language activities where students practice naming animals, describing them, building sentences, and creating short stories. One memorable moment was when a group of students used the animals to act out a small farm story, taking turns describing what each animal was doing, and they even involved the mouth model!\r\n\r\nYour support has truly helped create a speech room that is engaging, supportive, and filled with opportunities for students to grow their communication skills. Thank you for helping provide tools that make learning both meaningful and fun for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1766690638400,"projectUrl":"project/speech-and-language-materials/9711293/","projectTitle":"Speech and Language Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Catie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10259042"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31351","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":175,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":89,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - K","studentTeacherRatio":"25.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.6,"schoolId":31351,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Next Door Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Next Door Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/next-door-charter-school/31351"}
