We really enjoyed the donations you have donated to us. We use the dry erase board every day during Math, Writing, Reading and Phonics. The children greatly appreciate seeing the large LED digital clock to tell time and see the date and temperature displayed. The students enjoy working with the fidget cube when they are finished with classwork. They appreciate the baby wipes sent since some of them are in need of self help skills. The students are have shown an increase in happiness since the supplies were delivered. There favorite part about working on the computer is them being able to use a modern keyboard and wireless mouse. They love the colors, they love the sounds it makes and most of all they love that it was given to them through the kindness of your hearts. I cannot begin to express the sincerest gratitude for all the donations.","fullyFundedDate":1758899251782,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-for-children-with-aut/9440839/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies for Children with Autism","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp103406_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1523289353415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/103406"},{"teacherId":4172384,"projectId":9736764,"letterContent":"Wow! I cannot believe how much these items that we have received have already been put to such good use, right from the moment we opened the boxes.\r\n\r\nRight away, I put together an affirmation station on two of the classroom closet doors. This has been a much appreciated and welcomed addition to our classroom decor. The slash pocket folders as well as the mounting tabs have also been helpful in this manner as I was able to finish putting them up on the classroom bulletin boards and back closets so that I can display student work neatly and efficiently. Also, that stapler has worked wonders, I finally don't have to use my broken one that has fallen apart!\r\n\r\nI also feel better about being able to provide my students and everyone in the classroom with a safe and clean environment thanks to the donation of the wipes and paper towels.\r\n\r\nThe TPT gift card has already helped me to be able to purchase materials to supplement our classroom curriculum, making it more attainable and accessible to the students, which is the ultimate goal.

Each poster contains a multiple of the number that it is inside of, so we have been using this in various lessons throughout our curriculum.
