These resources have had a meaningful impact on our students, particularly those on the autism spectrum. The dividers have helped create calm, structured spaces that reduce distractions and support self-regulation. The Velcro dots have allowed us to build interactive visual schedules and communication tools, giving students a greater sense of independence and routine. Laminating our materials has made them more durable, cleanable, and reusable—perfect for hands-on learning and daily use.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is more organized, functional, and responsive to our students' diverse needs. These seemingly simple tools have made a big difference in helping our learners feel safe, focused, and empowered. On behalf of our staff and students, thank you for investing in a learning environment where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1747434598601,"projectUrl":"project/distraction-free-classroom-dividers/9312175/","projectTitle":"Distraction Free Classroom Dividers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eachus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4752403_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x521,y163&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560385651733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4752403"},{"teacherId":4752403,"projectId":9104469,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our students have transformed a simple patch of land into a thriving school garden. What started as just an idea has grown into a hands-on classroom where learning feels exciting, purposeful, and alive.\r\nYour generosity has created more than just a garden. You've given our students a space to grow—in confidence, in knowledge, and in joy. This project will continue to impact them long after the plants have been harvested. We are so grateful for the difference you've made in our school and in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1742580973780,"projectUrl":"project/working-in-the-garden/9104469/","projectTitle":"Working in the Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eachus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4752403_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x521,y163&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560385651733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4752403"},{"teacherId":4752403,"projectId":9068950,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your help! We were so excited to set up our small appliances! We had a hand me down toaster oven that sounded like it was blasting off every time we cooked with it. We got to use the Pizzazz to bake our own pizzas. It was so fun because we could watch it spin and cook the pizza. \r\nMy students are able to get hands on experiences to help them become more independent at home.

They have to follow directions to make the correct order and then place the pizza in the box. The fry boxes and burger wrappers are used for a fast food restaurant task box. They read and complete customer orders for fries and burgers. We are using the sugar sorter to practice another restaurant task.\r\nThese are great for doing life skills tasks!
