Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and in my students' lives.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students now have greater agency over their learning and a sense of pride and excitement in having their own school supplies. Many of them previously did not have consistent access to these materials at home, so this project has helped bridge that gap in a powerful way. I was able to create take-home binders filled with essential tools, including sight word cards, allowing students to practice and reinforce their learning with their parents and guardians.\r\n\r\nThis has not only supported their academic growth, but has also sparked positive conversations about learning at home and at school, and about the power of giving. My students are more motivated, confident, and eager to share what they are practicing outside of the classroom. Seeing their joy and increased engagement has been incredibly rewarding.\r\nThank you again from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and for believing in my students.

They've been building towers and simple structures, and it's been great to see them working together and staying engaged. One of my students even joined a group activity on their own, which was a really big moment.\r\n\r\nWe've also been using the pincer grasp tweezers in sorting and sensory activities. The kids were so excited to try them, and it's been a fun way to work on fine motor skills while practicing colors at the same time.\r\n\r\nThe blocking pads have been very helpful for staff safety. They've made it easier for us to support students during tough moments while keeping everyone safe and calm.\r\n\r\nWhen I first introduced everything, the excitement was immediate. They were so eager to jump in and explore.\r\n\r\nNext, we're going to keep using these materials to work on color recognition, sorting, and building with more structure during centers and small groups.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1769464724024,"projectUrl":"project/special-education-supplies/9982819/","projectTitle":"Special Education Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10396776"},{"teacherId":9000798,"projectId":9393703,"letterContent":"Our students in my music classroom are especially grateful to receive the supplies to make sure our classroom is set up for success!

This resource can be used with all grade levels because of the template I created.
