I have worked at my school for 21 years now and have never stopped being passionately driven to give my kids the same resources and opportunities that students of better funded schools have access to. I simply could not do that without the support of like-minded people like all of you. Every penny you contributed went towards providing my students with quality texts that are relevant, culturally responsive, and highly engaging. We will be enjoying this gift all year long!

We have been enjoying reading together, watching educational videos and loving having a magazine to read independently. \r\n\r\nThis subscription has truly helped me as a teacher plan engaging lessons for my students. I am able to use the resource to search articles that pertain to our current unit. Scholastic has so many engaging articles with amazing pictures that help my students. We are able to sing songs and play fun games together. \r\n\r\nMy students love having the actual magazine to read. They are great for independent reading and partner reading. The students have the best conversations about the many different topics. \r\n\r\nThank you again so much for this amazing opportunity!

We have spent the last few months spending time completing a multitude of fun fine motor and OT activities in a variety of ways, which have included painting turkeys for Thanksgiving, making holiday ornaments, creating Chinese New Year drums and well as cutting and pasting love bugs for Valentines Day and so many more. In addition, the adapted paint brushes have allowed our students with special needs to paint independently. I have also used many of the activities to play and help my preschool students grow and learn. Lastly, I have been able to organize all my OT supplies which makes them easy to find and access. \r\n\r\nThis is an extra special project and my last Donors Choose project for North Star Elementary, as my family will be relocating!

The resources that you contributed helps support my students in their social-cognition, play skills, social-emotional and behavioral development, academics, and pragmatic skills. The supplies from my project included cooperative play games, activities that centered around literacy and mathematics, as well as tools to help create materials like adaptive books and scaffolded academic materials (e.g., file folder games).\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited to see the new games and tools, and opening the boxes with them for the first time was always a highlight of their day. They have become more invested in the materials, and are more willing and enthusiastic to join in on their special education service sessions. These materials have especially helped in building their social skills, including learning pro-social play skills such as sharing, turn taking, and more.","fullyFundedDate":1727462921803,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play/8573121/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9232678"},{"teacherId":9633659,"projectId":8578287,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping me provide many exciting experiences for my preschoolers.
