Your donations made a meaningful and immediate impact on my students The excitement on their faces as they say the new materials arrive was truly heartwarming. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboard contact paper for their desks quickly became a favorite. It provides students with an engaging space to practice writing and drawing, encouraging creativity and skill development. It also serves as a productive activity for early finishers, allowing them to continue learning in a meaningful way. \r\n\r\nThe pencils you provided have also made a noticeable difference. Their size and design are perfect for little hands, helping students strengthen their grip and build confidence in their writing abilities. \r\n\r\nThe paper has also been incorporated into various art projects, giving students meaningful opportunities to express their creativity. It is truly inspiring to see what they are capable of creating with simple materials. These project not only encourage imagination, but also help build confidence as students proudly share their unique work with classmates. \r\n\r\nOne of the most appreciated additions has been the fidgets. Although they are in Kindergarten, my students benefit greatly from having access to these tools. They are easily accesible and serve as valuable focus supports, especially during carpet time. Having these resources empowers students to self-regulate and stay engaged in their learning. \r\n\r\nThe books have also enriched our classroom community. They have sparked important conversations about individuality, empathy, and inclusion. Through these stories, my students are learning that each person is unique and that our classroom is a family where we support one another, especially during challenging moments. \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and their growth. Your generosity is making a difference in their learning and development.","fullyFundedDate":1760740621034,"projectUrl":"project/beauty-in-our-differences-supporting-st/9639280/","projectTitle":"Beauty in Our Differences: Supporting Students with Special Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Labra Paredes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10214466"},{"teacherId":59628,"projectId":9987902,"letterContent":"You are all absolutely incredible!!!
