The interactive materials you provided, such as Alpha-Bots, magnetic letters, Number Bots, and the Hear Myself Alphabet Sound Phone, have transformed our classroom into an exciting, hands-on learning environment. The students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the materials. They eagerly dove into exploring letters, sounds, and numbers, using the magnetic letters to build words, tracing letters with the alphabet cards, and recording their own voices. These tools have made learning more engaging and meaningful for my preschoolers.\r\nThrough these activities, my students are strengthening essential skills like phonemic awareness, fine-motor development, and early numeracy. It's been amazing to see them work together, sharing ideas and helping each other as they explore new concepts. As we continue our lessons, we'll build on these skills with more interactive exercises, helping them build a strong foundation for reading, writing, and communication. Thanks to your support, my students are growing in confidence and developing a true love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1766780777555,"projectUrl":"project/building-early-literacy-with-hands-on-le/9861587/","projectTitle":"Building Early Literacy with Hands-On Learning Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rosario","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7876244_orig.jpg?crop=1187,1188,x0,y403&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624056345021","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrosario08"},{"teacherId":7876244,"projectId":9690535,"letterContent":"I'm deeply grateful for your generous support of our classroom through the DonorsChoose project. Your donation has made a significant difference in providing hands-on materials that encourage creativity, exploration, and collaboration among my preschool students. Thanks to the rolling storage cart, Play-Doh, craft supplies, and simple machines materials, our learning space has been transformed into a dynamic environment where my students can engage and grow in meaningful ways.\r\nOne of the first activities we did was dive into our simple machines unit by reading \"What Do Wheels Do All Day?.\" The book sparked discussions about the role of wheels in our lives, and the hands-on materials gave the students a chance to build and experiment with their own wheel-based creations. With the new storage cart, students can now independently access materials, giving them greater autonomy in their learning. This organization allows them to engage in creative play, strengthening their fine-motor skills as they mold Play-Doh, build structures with simple machines materials, and explore new ways to solve problems together.\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They eagerly dove into the Play-Doh and started crafting, showing off their creations with pride. The craft supplies have also become a favorite, allowing the children to express themselves through art, which helps build both their language and problem-solving skills. Seeing them work together, whether building a simple wheel system or collaborating on an art project, has been a joy. They are not only learning to solve problems but also strengthening social skills by working in teams.\r\nAs we continue with the wheels unit, we'll explore how different wheels work in vehicles and introduce more simple machines like pulleys and levers. The books and materials you helped provide will support this next phase of exploration, allowing my students to make connections between their hands-on experiences and the world around them. The rolling cart will continue to play a crucial role in keeping everything organized, so the children can easily access materials and engage in self-directed learning.\r\nThank you again for making all of this possible. Your generosity has brought joy, creativity, and critical learning opportunities to my students, and I can't wait to continue watching them grow through this project.","fullyFundedDate":1765471849772,"projectUrl":"project/building-creating-and-exploring-hands/9690535/","projectTitle":"Building, Creating, and Exploring: Hands-On Materials for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rosario","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7876244_orig.jpg?crop=1187,1188,x0,y403&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624056345021","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrosario08"},{"teacherId":7876244,"projectId":9785047,"letterContent":"This project has had a powerful impact on our preschool students by using simple, age-appropriate technology to deepen their learning and sense of responsibility. By taking photos of kind acts, students are learning that technology is not just for entertainment, but a tool for communication, storytelling, and sharing ideas. The instant camera allows them to capture real moments from their day and then reflect on what happened using words, drawings, or dictation. This process supports early language development, builds vocabulary, and helps students connect actions with meaning in a very concrete way.\r\nThe most exciting part for our students is seeing their photos printed immediately. They are incredibly proud to recognize themselves and their classmates as helpers, sharers, and problem-solvers. Many students eagerly look for kind moments throughout the day, knowing they might get to photograph and share them. Some children who are typically quiet or hesitant to speak have especially warmed to this project—they light up when describing what they saw or did, and they feel confident knowing their contribution matters to the whole school community.\r\nOverall, this project has helped our youngest learners become leaders. They are learning empathy, collaboration, and responsibility while also building early technology and literacy skills. By making kindness visible, the technology helps students understand that their actions have value and impact. It has strengthened our school culture and shown our preschoolers that even small acts can make a big difference.","fullyFundedDate":1761165198196,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-smiles-student-kindness-throu/9785047/","projectTitle":"Spreading Smiles: Student Kindness Through Instant Photos","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rosario","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7876244_orig.jpg?crop=1187,1188,x0,y403&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624056345021","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrosario08"},{"teacherId":6154184,"projectId":9675962,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Through the generous donation of a printer, our instructional team has been able to consistently meet students' needs in real time, ensuring that learning remains accessible, individualized, and responsive throughout each school day. This donated printer is not an occasional resource; it is used every day as a core instructional tool that directly supports communication, comprehension, behavior regulation, and engagement.\r\n\r\nOn a daily basis, the donated printer is used to create **adaptive and personalized stories** that address immediate classroom needs. Preschoolers with disabilities often require support with transitions, routines, and social expectations. When a student demonstrates difficulty with a specific situation—such as lining up, participating in group time, or transitioning between activities—teachers are able to quickly create and print an adaptive story using real classroom photos and simplified language. These stories are implemented the same day, allowing students to immediately connect the visuals to their lived experiences. This real-time responsiveness has helped reduce anxiety, increase predictability, and support smoother transitions throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe printer provided through donations is also used daily to produce **visual cue cards** that support instruction and behavior. Visual supports are essential for students with language delays, autism, and processing challenges. Teachers routinely print visuals for schedules, first/then boards, task steps, and classroom expectations as needs arise. For example, if a student is struggling to follow directions during a small group activity, a visual cue card can be printed and introduced immediately. This immediate access allows staff to proactively support students rather than waiting for materials, resulting in increased independence and reduced frustration.\r\n\r\nAnother critical daily use of the donated printer is the creation and updating of communication board. Many of our students are nonverbal or emerging communicators and rely on picture-based systems to express their wants, needs, and ideas. Each day, communication boards are printed or modified to reflect current activities, student interests, and instructional themes. When a student shows interest in a new toy, book, or topic, teachers can quickly print relevant pictures to expand the student's communication options. This real-time adaptation ensures that communication remains functional and meaningful, empowering students to actively participate in classroom routines and peer interactions.\r\n\r\nPrinted visuals are also used continuously throughout the day to support concept development and discussion. When students are learning about new topics—such as community signs, safety rules, emotions, or classroom expectations—printed pictures are provided immediately for reference. These visuals support understanding by giving students a concrete point of reference during conversations and lessons. Students can point to pictures, match images, or use visuals to answer questions, which significantly increases engagement and comprehension for learners with diverse communication needs.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the donated printer supports ongoing assessment and instructional decision-making. Teachers frequently print adapted materials to observe how students respond to specific supports. Based on student performance, materials are adjusted, reprinted, and reintroduced the same day. This continuous process of observation and modification is a fundamental part of effective special education practice and is made possible by having reliable, daily printer access.\r\n\r\nThe printer is also used to support home-school connection. Visuals, adaptive stories, and communication supports created during the school day are often sent home so families can reinforce the same strategies. This consistency helps students generalize skills across environments and provides families with clear tools to support learning at home.\r\n\r\nIn summary, the printer provided through donations is used each day as an essential instructional resource in our preschool special education classroom. It enables real-time creation of adaptive stories, visual cue cards, and communication boards that directly support students' learning, communication, and independence. This consistent access has had a meaningful impact on our ability to provide responsive, individualized, and inclusive instruction for preschoolers with disabilities throughout the school day.","fullyFundedDate":1758898944879,"projectUrl":"project/printer-access/9418708/","projectTitle":"Printer Access","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Betancourt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6884215_orig.jpg?crop=494,494,x0,y64&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708256515953","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6884215"},{"teacherId":6130692,"projectId":9742187,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your generous donation for the Mac Book!
