The new materials — including the Preschool–Early Childhood toddler resources and the Chutes & Ladders and Candy Land games — have brought so much fun and excitement into our therapy room. My students were immediately drawn to them, and it has been wonderful to see how motivated and engaged they are during sessions. 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. Thank you for helping make speech therapy fun, engaging, and full of opportunities for learning through play — your support truly makes a difference for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1771683455955,"projectUrl":"project/this-toy-supports-development-of-express/10038642/","projectTitle":"This Toy Supports Development of Expressive and Receptive Language Skills.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Randi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10238053"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9621","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1203,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.7,"schoolId":9621,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Limestone High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Limestone High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/limestone-county-school-district/east-limestone-high-school/9621"}
