Many of my students come to school hungry or without anything to sustain them through the morning, and because of your kindness, they are now able to start class feeling prepared and supported.\r\nThese snacks have created a more positive learning environment by reducing distractions, boosting engagement, and helping students feel cared for. Something so simple has had such a powerful impact on their confidence and ability to succeed.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their success.

The calming corner has quickly become an essential part of our daily routine, giving students a place where they can decompress, relax, and regulate their emotions before rejoining activities. This space helps them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe items you provided are used in so many ways beyond the corner itself. Students love taking the pillows to different areas of the classroom, lying on them while working at tables or during floor activities. The weighted animals, affectionately named Sally the Sloth and Ellie the Elephant, have become favorites. These items not only bring comfort but also help students calm their bodies and focus their minds.\r\n\r\nIt has been amazing to watch students independently choose to use the calming space or tools when they need them. The signage included has been especially helpful in guiding students through strategies to regulate themselves. Because of your generosity, my students now have tools and a safe space that support their emotional growth and success in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746785972978,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-place-to-breath-regulate-and-gr/9284641/","projectTitle":"A Safe Place to Breath, Regulate, and Grow!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parrish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9970999_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x300,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742254393244","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970999"},{"teacherId":9970999,"projectId":9270727,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Hands-On Learning for Little Minds project! The new materials have already made such a positive impact in our classroom. My students are so engaged and excited to learn when they are able to use hands-on tools that make concepts come alive.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic alphabet maze has been a huge hit! Students are practicing letter recognition and matching in a fun and interactive way. It also doubles as a tool for building pencil grip and fine motor control, which is a critical skill for young learners. I've watched students who normally struggle with letter work light up when using the maze, it feels like play, but it's powerful learning.\r\n\r\nThe shape-matching eggs have also been a favorite. Students love exploring, opening, and fitting them back together. This activity helps them work on shape recognition, matching skills, and problem-solving while also practicing gross motor coordination. It has been wonderful to see the pride on their faces when they make a match or fit the pieces together correctly.\r\n\r\nThese resources are giving my students joyful, hands-on learning experiences that help them build the foundational skills they need to succeed.

Each week, we read a new book together, and I use it not only for literacy skills but also as a way to build activities, model communication on AAC devices, and strengthen our social-emotional learning. These books have quickly become the heart of our classroom routine.\r\n\r\nOne of the highlights has been the Pete the Cat series. My students adore these stories, so much so that one student now answers questions by exclaiming, \"Goodness, no!\" just like Pete. Seeing them connect so deeply with characters brings so much joy, and it helps them find their own voices, both literally and figuratively.\r\n\r\nReading time has transformed into a multi-sensory experience where my students are actively engaged, communicating, laughing, and learning.

They love to peel and stick them on a variety of papers, from practicing staying on a line to creating their own picture. The dotters are always a favorite with my students. They love to create and fill in pictures with them. The dotters allow students to learn how to control an object because of the need to push the dotter for ink to flow.

Another favorite has been the interlocking discs; one student loves to spin them, while others are learning to snap them together to build unique creations. The Pop Tubes and Slug fidgets have become a helpful tool during library time, helping students stay calm, seated, and focused.
