My student's were so excited when they saw the new materials. They were thrilled to make things out of play doh, stamp with animals, and color with dot art. For the students who were able to utilize the games, they participated with high motivation and were so happy to discover new materials during speech therapy. \r\n\r\nI am so thankful for these materials which meet the needs of my higher level language learners and my students who are working on foundational language skills. The board game \"What Should You Do? A Game of Consequences\" by Lakeshore was a huge hit! Students were so excited to speech around the board and read challenging situations in which they had to make a decision of the appropriate response. Bananagrams helped us make words and play adapted phonetic games. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and contributing to my students' learning. Not only yare they excited, but so am I!","fullyFundedDate":1729807823881,"projectUrl":"project/adventures-in-speech/8599715/","projectTitle":"Adventures in Speech","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bergelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6049541_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1541771939196","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lbergelson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105403","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":65.7,"schoolId":105403,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P94M @ PS 281 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"P94M @ PS 281","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/p94-ps281/105403"}
