Because of you, my students now have hands-on materials that allow them to see, touch, and experience phonics in ways that finally make sense to them. During our small-group lessons, I've watched students who often struggle to stay focused become calm, curious, and fully engaged. I'll never forget watching a student trace letters, match sounds, and smile when the learning finally clicked.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement was immediate. Eyes widened, smiles spread, and little hands couldn't wait to explore. For my ESE students, these sensory tools have done more than support academics—they have helped reduce frustration and build confidence. Learning now feels safe, joyful, and achievable. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to try, explore, and celebrate their progress.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using these resources to strengthen phonics skills, letter-sound recognition, blending, and early reading through individualized and structured literacy lessons. Your kindness has created meaningful opportunities for growth, independence, and success for my students. Thank you for believing in them and for being a part of their learning journey—you have made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1758843855061,"projectUrl":"project/see-touch-learn-phonics-and-sensory-f/9571243/","projectTitle":"See, Touch, Learn: Phonics and Sensory Fun for ESE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9714025_orig.jpg?crop=675,675,x0,y1054&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754842353455","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9714025"},{"teacherId":9716330,"projectId":9616541,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Developing Instructional Materials to Support Diverse Learners in the ESE Classroom.\" Your donation has made a big difference.\r\n\r\nThe classroom materials you helped provide makes learning easier and more fun for our students.

Their eyes lit up as they saw how we could now print colorful reading materials, sight word cards, and math practice sheets right in our classroom. The laminating films have been especially helpful, we can now create durable learning centers that my students can use again and again without worrying about wear and tear.\r\n\r\nThe new printer and materials have transformed the way my students learn. During small-group reading, I can easily print differentiated worksheets and activities that meet each student's learning level. The laminated word cards and manipulatives make learning interactive and fun, while the magnetic erasers help keep our whiteboard lessons smooth and engaging. These resources allow my students to take pride in their work and handle materials more independently.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most are the tokens for our class incentive system. They love earning them for good behavior, effort, and participation, and they've become more motivated to stay focused and do their best. One of my quieter students, who used to shy away from reading aloud, now eagerly joins our reading games, partly because she's excited to earn a token, but also because she's gained new confidence through our engaging activities. Thanks to your generosity, my classroom has become a brighter, more interactive space where every child feels encouraged to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1757550600216,"projectUrl":"project/printed-with-purpose-sealed-with-succes/9569211/","projectTitle":"Printed with Purpose, Sealed with Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nagen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166032_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754777737131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166032"},{"teacherId":2263318,"projectId":9642263,"letterContent":"Your generosity has improved our math classroom!

They smiled, clapped, and even helped one another sound out new words. It was such a beautiful reminder of how much confidence and happiness the right materials can bring to a child's learning.\r\n\r\nThese Lakeshore and Scholastic resources have made a world of difference in our classroom.
