The impact has been amazing. I have students who have check out some of the books so the can take them home to read. Even one of the students took home the main dictionary to take and read through it. The younger students love for me to read them the books and then I ask them questions regarding what they heard. All these things help them retain information and want to read more.\r\n\r\nReading is one of the most important skill a student needs to have. Reading is involved in every aspect of learning. By encouraging my students to read the books that I got from this DonorChoice's funding, I was able to show the students that reading is not all bad. With that I thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1759181732810,"projectUrl":"project/special-education-teacher-helping-her-st/9563625/","projectTitle":"Special Education Teacher Helping Her Students Learn to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Troiano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9904925_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745436822103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9904925"},{"teacherId":9904925,"projectId":9213256,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping with the purchase of ink for the special education classroom printer.

Having the printer allows for that.

The i-pads help reinforce different skills by playing various games in Reading and Math. The little kids love the i-pads and the reinforcement apps that were put on it. \r\n\r\nFinally, with the grand I won, I took my classroom from not having any technology to having it. Technology is part of today's world and even though I have the laptops and i-pads, we still are behind in this area. Thank you for helping me achieve one of my many goals for my students.
