These supplies have been such a big help in our classroom. Having these everyday supplies available makes our days run so much more smoothly. The ink cartridges, dry erase markers, batteries, and laminating supplies help us keep lessons and activities going. We are able to create differentiated levels of work for different students. The storage bins, pen/pencil holders, and other organizational items help keep our classroom neat and ready for learning. Being able to laminate also means now our materials can be reused over and over again, giving the students more opportunities to practice and learn hands-on.\r\nI am so excited about the social emotional journal. Helping students understand their feelings, build confidence, and learn how to express themselves is just as important as their academic growth. This journal gives students a chance to reflect and work on such skills. \r\nWe really appreciate all your kindness and generosity. These may seem like simple classroom supplies and can often be overlooked and underestimated for their importance. They make a real difference in our everyday routines and in the learning experiences students can receive. Your support helps make the classroom a better place for our students and we are so thankful for all that you did.","fullyFundedDate":1787193433464,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-thrive/10490891/","projectTitle":"Help Students Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Belle Z","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10172427"},{"teacherId":10172427,"projectId":10403534,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations! These new sensory materials have been such a great addition to our classroom! They give our students different ways to move, relax, and meet their sensory needs throughout the day. The walking treadmill and vibration plate give students a chance to get movement and sensory input, which can help them feel more settled and ready to learn. The sensory lights and jellyfish lamp create a calming atmosphere. Having the bluetooth speaker lets us add preferred music to help students relax. The noise cancelling headphones are also a big help for students who get overwhelmed by loud noises, while the sound level meter helps students learn to recognize and manage their own noise levels.\r\nIt is amazing to see how excited the students are to explore and use the new materials. Some of them really enjoy watching those colorful lights and jelly fish move, some enjoy using colors to communicate feelings, and some enjoy having the chance to walk on a treadmill or put their feet on the vibration plate to help themselves regulate their emotions and bodies. We have also been seeing how helpful the headphones are to help students who need a little quite time before they feel comfortable and focused to do things.\r\nAll of my students have different needs and having these options gives us more ways to support them throughout the day. This is a classroom where students can feel comfortable, happy, and ready to learn. Thank you so much for making all of this possible for the students.","fullyFundedDate":1787159525391,"projectUrl":"project/buzz-breathe-and-glow/10403534/","projectTitle":"Buzz, Breathe, and Glow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Belle Z","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10172427"},{"teacherId":7132290,"projectId":10605533,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your generous donations of Pete the Cat books and all the engaging activities that came with them. Your generosity has brought so much excitement, joy, and meaningful learning into our classroom! My students were overjoyed when they first saw the new materials. Their eyes lit up, and their faces filled with big smiles. We have been using these resources throughout the day during circle time, center time, small-group activities, and even during free choice. The children absolutely love Pete the Cat!\r\n\r\nThrough these books and activities, my students have explored so many wonderful stories. They sing along with the Pete the Cat songs, create artwork, practice numbers and letters, match colors, and participate in hands-on activities connected to the stories. It has been incredible to witness their curiosity and eagerness to learn. One especially meaningful moment has been watching a student who uses AAC to communicate engage with the Pete the Cat activities. This student loves matching the colors of Pete's buttons and shoes and has begun pointing to objects around the classroom that are the same colors. It has been wonderful to see the materials encourage communication, observation, and participation. Another student who usually has difficulty completing teacher-directed tasks is now willingly participating in the activities and often asks for more pages to complete. His love of Pete the Cat has helped him stay focused, build confidence, and enjoy learning.\r\n\r\nOur next goal is to use the children's love of Pete the Cat to help build a lifelong love of reading and encourage them to explore other books and stories. We will continue using these familiar and engaging stories as a bridge to important preschool learning. We will practice the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, calendar concepts, weather, and many other age-appropriate pre-academic skills. We will also use Pete's stories to support our students' social-emotional development. Together, we will explore important ideas such as friendship, sharing, caring, kindness, and helping one another. The children can connect with Pete's experiences and learn that being a good friend means caring about and supporting others.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made our classroom a more joyful, engaging, and meaningful place to learn. Thank you for giving my students resources that inspire them to participate, communicate, explore, and grow. Every book, activity, and moment of excitement is helping them build skills and memories that will stay with them as they continue their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1789111156258,"projectUrl":"project/a-groovy-start-to-lifelong-learning-with/10605533/","projectTitle":"A Groovy Start to Lifelong Learning with Pete the Cat!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7132290_orig.jpg?crop=345,345,x179,y169&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596593210123","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7132290"},{"teacherId":4599703,"projectId":9871644,"letterContent":"Your donations helped our program beyond words!
