Your kindness and support have made a meaningful difference in the learning environment for these young children.\r\n\r\n Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase 10 desks for four different preschool classrooms, giving our 3–5-year-old students a dedicated space to learn, participate, and communicate. Most importantly, these desks allow students to comfortably use their AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices during large-group learning.\r\n\r\n For children who rely on AAC to communicate, having their device accessible and positioned properly is so important. These desks will help ensure that students can participate in songs, stories, lessons, conversations, and classroom activities alongside their peers. Something as simple as having the right workspace can make a tremendous difference in a child's ability to engage and be heard.\r\n\r\n Your generosity is providing more than just desks—you are helping create opportunities for our students to communicate, participate, learn, and belong.\r\n\r\n We are incredibly grateful that you chose to support these children and their classrooms. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping make their educational experience more accessible and inclusive.","fullyFundedDate":1788654687451,"projectUrl":"project/group-time-cube-chair-desks-for-aac-talk/10586353/","projectTitle":"Group Time Cube Chair Desks for AAC Talking Devices","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cochran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10647393"},{"teacherId":10215563,"projectId":9946693,"letterContent":"My Pre-K students love our new classroom carpet! They helped remove the plastic wrapped around our mysterious package, unrolled it, and were so excited to find a new blue rug with letters and numbers. Thank you so much for helping make our classroom feel cozier and look more colorful. Our students are already using it for morning meetings and during open play in our block area.\r\n\r\nOur new blue carpet is special because it is the dedicated space where we gather as a whole classroom community. We love coming together to sing our hello song, welcome every student by name, share how we are feeling, read books, and dance out any extra energy we have!\r\n\r\nDuring open play, our students use the rug to build tall block towers, race cars, and assemble extensive train tracks.
