I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your generosity. These resources have been invaluable in supporting my students, particularly those who are nonverbal or pre-verbal, in their journey toward effective communication.\r\n\r\nThe materials have allowed us to tailor our instruction to meet the unique needs of each student, spanning from Pre-K3 to 1st grade. With a combination of low-tech and mid-tech devices, we've been able to create opportunities for students to expand their language skills in ways that are meaningful and developmentally appropriate.\r\n\r\nThank you for your support.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation. Your support has made a profound impact on our learning community, and I am excited to share how we have been utilizing these new materials.\r\n\r\nUpon unveiling the new resources, the students' reactions were nothing short of excitement. Their faces lit up with joy. It was heartwarming to witness their genuine excitement.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic tiles have become a popular item of our sessions. Students collaborate to construct structures, enhancing their social skills. This hands-on experience fosters teamwork and allows them to follow instructions, all while engaging in imaginative play.\r\n\r\nThe tissues has been instrumental in maintaining a clean and healthy classroom environment. With the flu season upon us, having an ample supply of tissues ensures that students can adhere to proper hygiene practices, reducing the spread of germs. This simple yet essential resource contributes to the overall well-being of the students.\r\n\r\nEraser caps have been a subtle yet powerful addition to our writing tools. They serve as a gentle reminder that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process.\r\n\r\nThe Crayola Colors of the World markers have had an impact on our drawings. Students are now able to select shades that accurately represent their own skin tones and those of the diverse individuals they choose to depict. This inclusivity promotes a sense of belonging and self-acceptance.\r\n\r\nThe clicker fidget toy has been particularly beneficial for students requiring sensory input to maintain focus. This tool supports their emotional well-being and provides a constructive outlet for restless energy, enhancing their overall learning experience.\r\n\r\nIn summary, your thoughtful contributions have not only supplied us with physical resources but have also fostered an environment where creativity, inclusivity, and well-being are prioritized. The students and I are grateful for your support, which has made our classroom a more engaging and nurturing space. We look forward to continuing to utilize these materials to their fullest potential, thanks to your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and commitment to enhancing educational experiences. Your impact is felt, and we are honored to have your support.","fullyFundedDate":1726107097005,"projectUrl":"project/3-cs-creative-calm-clean/8757680/","projectTitle":"3 C's: Creative, Calm, Clean","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cheng","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9079754_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726109520481","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079754"},{"teacherId":8641391,"projectId":8730162,"letterContent":"These resources have been very helpful for my students!
