The school supplies you funded help me create customized visual supports, hands-on activities, and individualized learning tools that truly meet the needs of my Pre-K students with special needs.\r\n\r\nFor my students, these materials make learning easier, clearer, and more enjoyable. Visual schedules help them feel safe and understand what comes next. Picture cards and matching activities support communication and independence. Colorful charts, manipulatives, and crafts keep them engaged and excited to learn. With these tools, my students participate more confidently, follow routines better, and express themselves in ways that work for them.\r\n\r\nFor me as a teacher, your support means I can give each child what they truly need to succeed. Instead of limiting activities based on available materials, I can now create tools that match every learner's strengths, challenges, and learning style. Your generosity allows me to plan more effectively, teach more creatively, and provide my students with the high-quality, individualized support they deserve.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for helping us build a learning environment where every child feels supported, capable, and proud of their accomplishments. Your kindness has brought color, creativity, and confidence into our daily learning—and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746786099859,"projectUrl":"project/crafting-success-visual-tools-for-lear/9231441/","projectTitle":"\"Crafting Success: Visual Tools for Learners with Special Needs!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Duaman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9462545_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709148410539","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9462545"},{"teacherId":9462545,"projectId":9112605,"letterContent":"In our special education classroom, every child learns in their own unique way.
