They love when we read the books out loud and use silly voices. After we've read it out loud, they enjoy reading them independently. Our youngest learners love looking at the pictures and saying the emotions they see on the pages. \r\nThese materials have opened so many new opportunities for teaching and discussing regulation skills. The books teach real life ways to work on being calm, respectful, confident, and so much more. The visuals for different breathing techniques are so great to use to teach these skills & then we get to hang them up in calm done spaces as a reminder of what to do when we have big feelings! \r\nThe lessons that we're able to teach go beyond what's on the pages and we couldn't have done it without the support from our gracious donors!!","fullyFundedDate":1754602178516,"projectUrl":"project/socially-savvy-social-skills-with-pictur/9238812/","projectTitle":"Socially Savvy Social Skills with Picture Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8951879"},{"teacherId":9289909,"projectId":9045277,"letterContent":"I sincerely appreciate your generous donations and support for our classroom.

We were able to get a smorgas-board of slime that includes different colors, textures, and even SMELLS!! Having our own personal slime to use while working has been so regulating, and not to mention, hygienic! \r\n\r\nThe kids (and staff) think its so exciting to open up a new can or jar of putty and see what surprise awaits them. Some have glitter in them. Some glow in the dark. Some even have beads in them, which is great for our students who like to \"pick\" at things. \r\n\r\nWe've been able to use the slime for multiple purposes in lessons as well. We have rolled the slime into balls to count and put into piles for \"more\" and \"less\". We have used the slime to \"trace\" letters, names, and sight words. We've also used slime to aide in our turn taking lessons! \r\n\r\nNone of this would be possible without your donations!","fullyFundedDate":1739370753004,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-slime-for-regulation-and-happine/9042001/","projectTitle":"Sensory Slime for Regulation and Happiness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8951879"},{"teacherId":9787712,"projectId":8850084,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my \"Building My Classroom Library From Scratch\" campaign. Your support has allowed me to create a small library of books that has truly transformed my classroom experience. Thanks to your donations, I can now recommend books to my students, lend them books they may not have at home, and engage with them on a deeper level by learning about their interests. Encouraging my students to read for fun has become a rewarding part of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading looks vibrant and engaging, with students diving into a variety of genres and topics that interest them. The new texts have introduced valuable skills such as critical thinking, comprehension, and a love for storytelling. I've noticed particular students who are especially enjoying these new books; they often share their thoughts and discoveries during our discussions, which has fostered a sense of community and enthusiasm for reading among their peers. Your support has made this all possible, and I am incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1728160182896,"projectUrl":"project/building-my-classroom-library-from-scrat/8850084/","projectTitle":"Building My Classroom Library From Scratch","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gifford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9787712"},{"teacherId":9289909,"projectId":8853143,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of sports games and materials to establish our educational game room! Your contribution has made a tremendous impact on our students with special needs, providing them with engaging tools to enhance both their learning and social skills. The moment the students saw the new games, their faces lit up with excitement, and it was heartwarming to witness their enthusiasm. These resources have already been integrated into our classroom routine, allowing students to practice teamwork, improve motor skills, and enjoy interactive, hands-on learning. One memorable project involved an activity where students worked to strategize and collaborate while playing a new game, helping them build critical communication and problem-solving skills. Looking ahead, we plan to incorporate these materials into lessons focused on improving coordination and social interactions. The games will continue to serve as a fun and educational bridge between our academic objectives and the development of essential life skills.

Your support has been invaluable in providing our students with the opportunity to engage in physical activities that promote both fitness and fun. When the students first saw the new equipment—ranging from sports balls to agility cones and adaptive tools—they were absolutely thrilled. It was incredible to see how excited they were to try out the different activities. These activities are not only helping them develop motor skills but also build confidence and social bonds. Moving forward, we plan to continue using this equipment to develop individualized P.E. lessons that support our students' physical, emotional, and social growth.
