While these items may seem small, they have had a tremendous impact on the daily lives of my students.\r\nThanks to your support, children have access to basic necessities that help them feel clean, comfortable, and ready to learn. For many families, these supplies ease a financial burden and ensure that students can come to school with confidence. Having these essentials available has reduced distractions, boosted self-esteem, and allowed students to focus more fully on their studies rather than worrying about what they don't have.\r\nYour kindness has created a more inclusive and supportive environment where every child feels cared for and respected.

The students in my room are 5-7 years old and are all severely autistic. When they came in to our class in September we had very few materials. It was incredibly hard to occupy them, let alone teach them anything academic.\r\nWith the help of your donations, we have been able to start exposing them to ELA centers and curriculum. Our students enjoy using the letter foam stringing activity as it also helps them with their fine motor skills. They also love the texture of the foam shapes and some of them even explore the texture by putting it in their mouths. Since the letters are foam, they can't ruin them or break them. It has been such an asset to our classroom. In addition, the ABC monkey activity has been lots of fun for them to play with. Some of the children are now able to start working on spelling their names and are beginning to recognize letters of the alphabet as well. The monkeys are very colorful which always makes them an exciting activity to engage in. Lastly, the stretchy tube connectors are a really big hit! Our students love opening and closing them and even swinging them around. They are very excited to play with them! \r\nThank you so much for your support- we are extremely grateful!!","fullyFundedDate":1757644025582,"projectUrl":"project/starting-new-class-set-up/9678140/","projectTitle":"Starting New Class Set Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leitner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239868"},{"teacherId":44041,"projectId":9438339,"letterContent":"This is so awesome!
