Even students who are sometimes hesitant to participate are becoming more engaged and willing to communicate during sessions. Your kindness is helping create positive learning experiences that support not only speech and language growth, but also confidence, connection, and joy in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping make speech therapy a place where they feel encouraged, successful, and excited to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1777985354294,"projectUrl":"project/thank-you-for-supporting-our-speech-ther/10114498/","projectTitle":"Thank You for Supporting Our Speech Therapy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Randi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10238053"},{"teacherId":10238053,"projectId":10038642,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our speech-language program through DonorsChoose!

These games have helped create a playful, low-pressure environment where children feel comfortable talking, interacting, and learning together.\r\n\r\nWe've been using these items every day for language-rich play activities like practicing turn-taking, building vocabulary, following directions, requesting, describing, and social communication skills. The games naturally encourage conversation and interaction, which is exactly what our young learners need to grow their communication skills. There has been so much laughter, teamwork, and meaningful language practice happening because of your generosity.
