I truly appreciate your generosity.\r\nDuring independent reading time, my students enjoy exploring the sensory books. They love the different textures and sounds, and it helps keep them interested and engaged in a way that works for them. The bean bag chair has been such a great addition to our classroom. My students all have different needs, and having different seating options really helps. Some of my students like to sit on the bean bag to read, while others use it as a quiet place to relax and calm down.\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the students were very excited to look through the books and try them out. Many of them spent time quietly exploring the pages in their own way, which was really nice to see.\r\nThank you again, your donation has made a real difference in our classroom and we're forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1728049444999,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-books-for-an-engaging-library/8802817/","projectTitle":"Sensory Books for an Engaging Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rosalie-cruz"},{"teacherId":4118072,"projectId":8580027,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project, Tactile Literacy Fun!

The letter chart provides a clear visual and tactile way to introduce each letter, while the tracing mats allow my emergent writers to practice forming letters with the visual support. \r\nOne of our favorite activities has been using the alphabet stepping stones. We use it in our structured play station where we turn it into a fun and interactive game. My students move from letter to letter, saying the names and sounds as they go and they absolutely love it. It has been such a joyful way to learn, especially for students who benefit from movement.\r\nThank you again for making this possible for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1730478415353,"projectUrl":"project/tactile-literacy-fun/8580027/","projectTitle":"Tactile Literacy Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rosalie-cruz"},{"teacherId":10315720,"projectId":9843958,"letterContent":"Many thanks for sponsoring our project! We implemented it a few weeks ago and it's been a hit! Every week, the related service providers at our school choose students to be the cashier and the snack distributor.

The cash register has been useful to hold the money and for the students to learn how to use it appropriately (financial literacy). The safe has been great to keep the money we make secure. The plastic bins help keep the snacks organized. All of these parts have been crucial life skills for our students to learn.
