Thanks to your support, we now have a printer, sensory toys, a cozy tent, a rug, books, laminating sheets, and bulletin board paper that will make an immediate and meaningful impact on our students' daily learning experiences. Your kindness has transformed our classroom into a more welcoming, engaging, and supportive environment.\r\n\r\nThese materials will help my students learn, explore, and feel more at home in our space. The sensory toys and tent offer calm spaces for students who need a moment to regulate, while the books and rug create a warm area for reading and connection. The printer, laminating sheets, and bulletin board paper will help bring our lessons to life in vibrant, durable ways that students can interact with daily. Your generosity not only provides resources—it shows my students that there are people who believe in their growth and potential. Thank you for investing in them and in our classroom \r\ncommunity.\r\n\r\nThe technology we received such as the printer has already made a meaningful difference in how my students learn each day. Many of my students benefit from visual supports, personalized worksheets, and hands-on activities, and having access to a printer allows me to create and adapt materials quickly to meet their needs. Instead of waiting for resources or relying on generic worksheets, I can print visuals, schedules, choice boards, and differentiated tasks that help students stay engaged and understand expectations more clearly. This simple tool makes our classroom more responsive, organized, and accessible for all learners.","fullyFundedDate":1755735422534,"projectUrl":"project/little-learners-big-dreams-supporting/9506304/","projectTitle":"Little Learners, Big Dreams: Supporting Special Education Superstars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Agustina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10096889_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753820773624","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10096889"},{"teacherId":7277575,"projectId":9492884,"letterContent":"Thank you so so much for contributing to our classroom this year. Because of your donations, our classroom has come to life. Students are able to engage more in the lessons and take more ownership over their own learning . We appreciate everything you have done and given to our classroom. \r\n Our class has particularly gravitated towards the new art supplies. The modeling clay has become a fan favorite. It's our new favorite way to have hands- on learning, as we use it to show what we know in a different way. The students have also enjoyed the music supplies so that they can participate in all our classroom songs.\r\n In addition, when our day has becoming overstimulating for our students , they now have the comfort of our new beanbag chair. With this chair they can sit back, relax and recenter themselves for even more learning.\r\n We are so very grateful for your donations to our classroom. With these new materials, I am sure we will have a fun-filled and educational year.
