The different textures have kept them engaged and excited to learn, and it's been wonderful to see how each child interacts with the materials in their own unique way. They've enjoyed scooping, pouring, and shaping, all while building important fine motor and language skills through play.\r\n\r\nDuring our sessions, we've used the sensory table as a way to encourage communication, describing what we feel and see, and practicing new vocabulary. The students often share their creations with pride, using words and sentences to talk about what they made. It's been a great hands-on way to make speech therapy both fun and educational, turning each session into an opportunity for creativity and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1755736600531,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-table-for-the-speech-room/9437083/","projectTitle":"Sensory Table for the Speech Room!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alvarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9593680_orig.jpg?crop=1636,1636,x0,y163&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721071939864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9593680"},{"teacherId":604634,"projectId":9243181,"letterContent":"In this digital world, students like mine know exactly what to do with a computer, but they need a lot more help with organizing papers and books. Their new folders and notebooks have helped them to maintain organization for ELA and math.\r\n\r\nWhen they complete math warm-ups in their notebooks, I don't worry about them losing their information. Families are able to see the work that students are doing each day. Also, when they write rough drafts, the notebooks are always available. We aren't wondering where they are or hoping they weren't left at home. We keep our notebooks in special places in the classroom so they know exactly where to get them and where to store them.\r\n\r\nFinally, having a class set of one of our favorite novels makes a huge impact on learning.
