During circle time, we use it to play music, sing along to songs, and follow visual cues that keep the children excited and focused. It also allows us to create and share interactive stories that bring learning to life—students can touch, see, and hear the story unfold, which supports comprehension and language development. The iPad is also an important part of our sensory play activities, offering calming sounds, colorful visuals, and touch-based apps that help students regulate their emotions and explore safely at their own pace. For our little learners with diverse needs, the iPad turns learning into an inclusive, multisensory experience that meets each child right where they are.","fullyFundedDate":1718754501610,"projectUrl":"project/audio-visual-engagement/8385693/","projectTitle":"Audio-Visual Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maggie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9207629_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692553801050","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9207629"},{"teacherId":9207629,"projectId":8260868,"letterContent":"We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of balls for our ball pit and indoor slide.
