Because of your support, our classroom is now equipped visual supports that include new magnetic math manipulatives, an \"All About Today\" calendar, a giant magnetic timer, and a bright magnetic border that makes our learning space more organized and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate when these materials arrived. Students rushed to explore the magnetic manipulatives and were eager to take turns updating the calendar each morning. The giant timer quickly became a class favorite, helping students manage their time with confidence. Even something as simple as the colorful magnetic border has made our classroom feel more cheerful and inviting. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students collaborate on solving math problems at the board, moving the manipulatives around and proudly explaining their thinking.\r\n\r\nWe are now weaving these tools into our daily routines—from math lessons and calendar time to transitions and group activities. The next step is to expand their use in small-group centers, giving students even more opportunities to practice independence, leadership, and teamwork.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has provided more than just classroom materials—you've given my students tools that spark joy, build confidence, and make learning hands-on and fun. We are deeply grateful for the lasting impact you've made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1660084774435,"projectUrl":"project/visual-supports-for-self-contained-class/6657717/","projectTitle":"Visual Supports for Self-Contained Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8573453_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660079336251","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8573453"},{"teacherId":6076443,"projectId":8710067,"letterContent":"It is with my sincere gratitude that I thank you for each of your generous donations.

Since then they have been trading books, starting conversations about what they read, and even reading to those students in the class who are struggling readers or currently learning the English language. \r\n\r\nMore important than any of the preceding is the fact that this helped them understand that their community has their back and will help out, even strangers.
