Each of the materials you provided plays a vital role in helping us achieve those goals. \r\n\r\nVelcro has transformed our classroom activities, allowing students to create interactive displays and learning aids that they can manipulate independently. For those who struggle with fine motor skills, Velcro makes hands-on learning accessible and enjoyable.

Every day, I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment that meets their diverse needs. Your donation of dry erase markers has been instrumental in helping me achieve that goal. \r\n\r\nDry erase markers are more than just a classroom supply; they are a versatile tool that enhances learning in a multitude of ways. For my students, who may struggle with traditional methods of learning, these markers provide an interactive and dynamic way to engage with the curriculum. Whether we are practicing letter formation, solving math problems, or brainstorming ideas during group discussions, dry erase markers allow for creativity and flexibility. \r\n\r\nOne of the most significant benefits of using dry erase markers is their ability to promote active participation. Many of my students thrive in hands-on learning environments where they can physically manipulate materials and express their thoughts visually. With dry erase boards, my students can easily write, erase, and revise their work, encouraging them to take risks and learn from their mistakes without the fear of permanent consequences. This process fosters a growth mindset and builds their confidence as learners.","fullyFundedDate":1740700070267,"projectUrl":"project/chair-glides-for-special-needs-classroom/8985411/","projectTitle":"Chair Glides for Special Needs Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pfeiffer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4122255_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1616180351200","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-pfeiffer-reinberg"},{"teacherId":4122255,"projectId":8979754,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.
