These familiar characters have let my students engage in pretend play that mirrors their life like going on a airplane, catching the bus to school, and getting picked up by their parents.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, students can act out scenes from the books we read with the fharacters themselves.

The students use the iPad to make learning fun which supplements math and reading games to enhance their academics.

In the past, the dry air from the ventilation system caused frequent discomfort and respiratory issues for my students, leading to missed school days. Now, the air feels noticeably more comfortable, and the calming aromatherapy feature has become a vital part of our daily sensory routine. By maintaining a healthy humidity level, my students are staying healthy, breathing easier, and remaining in the classroom where they can participate in essential learning and therapy.\r\n\r\nThe variety of snacks has also had a profound impact on our daily transitions and behavioral success. For my students with ASD, having access to specific textures and high-protein options like beef jerky and cereal bars provides the sensory input and \"fuel\" they need to stay regulated. These items have become powerful tools for positive reinforcement, helping students reach their individual goals with a smile. Additionally, keeping our dedicated support staff energized with these snacks ensures that our entire \"classroom family\" stays focused and ready to provide the high level of care our students deserve.","fullyFundedDate":1769059599427,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-air-hearty-snacks-for-special/10023018/","projectTitle":"Healthy Air & Hearty Snacks for Special Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Macadangdang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8677247_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y478&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700560160205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8677247"},{"teacherId":8677247,"projectId":9667379,"letterContent":"Because of your incredible generosity, our K-4 classroom at Salt Lake El has undergone a total transformation. For my students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the \"Calm Down Corner\" is no longer just a space, but a vital therapeutic tool. The Kinetic Sand, slime, and squishies provide the deep, predictable sensory input our students need to navigate moments of anxiety. We have seen a remarkable shift in independence; instead of losing learning time to sensory overload, students are now using these tools to self-regulate and return to their lessons with a sense of calm and focus.\r\n\r\nBeyond emotional regulation, your donation has breathed new life into our daily academic and developmental goals. The Race Track Toys have become a hub for cooperative play and logical sequencing, while the Wooden Puzzles and Electric Keyboard provide the tactile and auditory engagement necessary for mastering literacy and counting. By providing these high-quality resources, you have removed the barriers that once stopped learning cold. You haven't just provided classroom materials; you have given my students the confidence to unlock their full potential and turn daily challenges into meaningful breakthroughs.","fullyFundedDate":1759631502325,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-play-turn-wiggles-into-focus-an/9667379/","projectTitle":"Sensory Play: Turn Wiggles Into Focus and Motor Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Macadangdang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8677247_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y478&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700560160205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8677247"},{"teacherId":10294094,"projectId":9775184,"letterContent":"My students were very excited to receive the new materials. At first they would rock back and forth a little too quickly on the rocking chairs. But now they know the right amount of force that is needed to regulate their emotions. For instance, when they are upset, they may rock a little more forcefully to release their excess energy. And when they are sad, they rock slowly which is very soothing and calming for them. \r\n\r\nAnd the manipulatives for the light up table provide not only visual inputs but also tactile inputs. The manipulatives have different textures such as spikey balls and smooth jewels that my students love to touch and explore with their hands...and sometimes with their mouths :) \r\n\r\nThank you for the generous donation that gave my special education preschool students the opportunity of \"Rocking With Illumination For Little Students With Big Emotions.\"","fullyFundedDate":1759425437762,"projectUrl":"project/rocking-with-illumination-for-little-stu/9775184/","projectTitle":"Rocking With Illumination For Little Students With Big Emotions","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10294094"},{"teacherId":10159978,"projectId":9782571,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gift to our classroom. Your support of the bookshelf, ten-sided dice, and dominos has already made a difference for our class.\r\n\r\nThe storage bookshelf has become the center of our math station area. Manipulatives and card sets now have a clear home so students can quickly access materials without digging through crowded cabinets and opening every door before finding what they need. One specific moment I can recall was a partner rotation that focused on multiplication fluency. I set up multiple stations and 3 of them were dominos, dice multiplication, and Salute multiplication with cards. Since these materials were so accessible from the new bookshelf, transitions were smooth and instruction time increased.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to see the new shelf and materials when they walked in the next day. The pocket charts now make morphology fun and it's easier to locate with the colored pocket charts. Students love matching the red, yellow, and green cards to the charts. For my next steps, I'd like to move classroom books that support math and SEL to the shelf, and possible add another similar size shelf to expand the student section.","fullyFundedDate":1759606989750,"projectUrl":"project/play-learn-grow-math-and-morphology-m/9782571/","projectTitle":"Play, Learn, Grow: Math and Morphology Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adversalo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10159978"},{"teacherId":8840583,"projectId":9772098,"letterContent":"The new resources have made a big difference in our classroom routines and student morale. The snacks help students stay focused and comfortable throughout the day, especially during long learning periods. The board games have been a wonderful addition to our indoor recess time, giving students a fun and engaging way to relax, socialize, and practice positive behavior when we can't go outside. Each student now has their own large plastic book bin to store supplies, which has helped keep our classroom organized and made it easier for students to take responsibility for their materials.\r\n\r\nStudents were thrilled when they first saw the new items, especially the rubber duck incentives. Earning a duck has been highly motivating and has encouraged positive behavior, effort, and teamwork. The personal supply bins made students feel proud to have their own space, and the games and snacks were immediately put to good use and appreciated by everyone.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue supporting a calm and organized learning environment. The storage bags will be especially helpful during end-of-year packing or if a student transfers to another school, making transitions smoother and less stressful. Thanks to these donations, my students can focus more on learning, feel supported in their classroom, and enjoy a positive and structured environment each day.","fullyFundedDate":1759375387550,"projectUrl":"project/snack-play-tidy-up-building-a-ready/9772098/","projectTitle":"Snack, Play, & Tidy Up: Building a Ready-to-Learn Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Haupu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8840583"},{"teacherId":9291721,"projectId":9777977,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom. Your donation of iPads with protective cases, STEM building blocks, bird feeder kits, and a photo printer will transform how our students learn and create.\r\n\r\nThe iPads will give students instant access to educational apps, virtual simulations, and digital research tools. They'll document projects, capture data, and collaborate with peers—building digital literacy, creativity, and critical-thinking skills that are essential in today's world. The protective cases mean we can use these tools confidently across hands-on lessons and outdoor learning.\r\n\r\nThe STEM building blocks and bird feeder kits bring engineering and environmental science into students' hands. Through designing, constructing, testing, and iterating, learners will practice problem-solving, teamwork, and real-world application of science and math. The bird feeder projects will also deepen their connection to local ecosystems and stewardship of the environment.\r\n\r\nThe photo printer is a wonderful finishing touch. Students will be able to print project images and reflections immediately, which encourages reflection, pride in their work, and clear communication of learning. Sharing these snapshots with families and the school community will multiply the impact of your gift.\r\n\r\nYour generosity does more than supply materials—it creates experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire future innovators.
