I am excited to have these compression vests for my kids. I have a student who loves wearing one of them daily. She has sensory needs that are calmed when she puts the vest on. She moves and stims constantly. I noticed that when she has the vest on she is able to settle down and focus more on her work rather than moving around the classroom. This helps the other students as well because there are less distractions. These vest are going to get a lot of use!","fullyFundedDate":1770915193790,"projectUrl":"project/weighted-compression-vests-for-sensory-r/10075606/","projectTitle":"Weighted Compression Vests for Sensory Regulation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3676507_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1593784551467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3676507"},{"teacherId":3676507,"projectId":10040773,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my first grade class.

I truly appreciate the time, thought, and effort that went into the donation.\r\n\r\nThe activity cards have had a meaningful impact on student learning. They actively engage students in purposeful language practice while supporting vocabulary development, oral language skills, and academic confidence. The clear structure and interactive nature of the activities have helped students participate more willingly, collaborate with peers, and apply language skills in authentic ways.\r\n\r\nI have also noticed increased student motivation and improved language output, particularly among learners who are typically more hesitant to speak. The cards make lessons more dynamic and accessible, allowing instruction to be differentiated while maintaining high expectations for all students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support and for providing such valuable tools that positively influence student growth and classroom learning. These activity cards have been a wonderful addition to our English language development instruction.","fullyFundedDate":1768510874766,"projectUrl":"project/english-language-development/9882818/","projectTitle":"English Language Development","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barnhill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9807035"},{"teacherId":7024181,"projectId":9964484,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my Pre-K students have had the incredible opportunity to learn and grow using the Miko 3 robot in our classroom. I cannot thank you enough for making this experience possible!\r\n\r\nFrom the very first day we introduced Miko 3, the excitement in the room was unforgettable. My students were immediately engaged and eager to participate. What made this tool so powerful was not just the excitement—but the meaningful learning that followed.\r\n\r\nThrough interactive lessons and guided activities, students strengthened their early reading skills, practiced foundational math concepts, and engaged in hands-on, interactive learning experiences. The robot supported students in following one- and two-step directions, which is such an important developmental milestone in Pre-K. I was able to observe how well students listened, processed information, and responded appropriately—skills that will support them across all areas of learning.\r\n\r\nThe integration of technology has been especially impactful for our 21st-century learners. Using Miko 3 allowed students to experience educational technology in a way that was developmentally appropriate, engaging, and highly motivating. It created opportunities for collaboration, communication, and independent thinking.\r\n\r\nThe impact has extended beyond my classroom. Fellow teachers have already expressed interest in borrowing the robot for their small group instruction because they've seen how engaged and responsive the students are. Your support is not only benefiting my students but inspiring innovative learning opportunities throughout our school community.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your generosity has brought excitement, growth, and meaningful learning into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1766079476848,"projectUrl":"project/prek-stem-stars/9964484/","projectTitle":"PreK STEM Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Macasaet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7024181_orig.jpg?crop=757,757,x103,y10&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726491423784","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7024181"},{"teacherId":3676507,"projectId":9977008,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our first graders with your donation to this project. we are excited to have our Second Annual Egg Hunt before spring break.
