With your support, I can now more efficiently create individualized visuals, adapted worksheets, and communication tools. \r\n\r\nHaving tools such as a reliable printer, ink, lamination, and organizational storage helps me create the materials that help students understand lessons, stay engaged, and express themselves. Because I travel between two schools, organized resources means no time is wasted, and every session is focused on learning and growth. \r\n\r\nThese tools have made a huge difference—students are more engaged with colorful visuals, have access to personalized communication supports, and are building confidence in their learning and participation. The organization systems also help me make the most of each session so students get exactly what they need.\r\n\r\nYour donation has turned everyday supplies into real opportunities for the students who need them the most to build confidence, succeed academically, and to find their voices.","fullyFundedDate":1746811411496,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-communication-enhancing-stude/9050324/","projectTitle":"Capturing Communication: Enhancing Student Growth with Visual Supports","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9128645"},{"teacherId":9128645,"projectId":8702891,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for your generous donation.

We've \"debated\", voted, and graphed which books to choose and use, done picture walks, and compared/contrasted stories and characters. These books are helping build students' reading confidence, begin discussions where my students are sharing their interests and communicating about topics and characters they are excited about, all while improving their comprehension and language skills. Your support is making a real difference in their academic success and personal growth and we are so grateful and excited to get brand new books for summer!
