Students always get excited when we get boxes with new things for our room. It makes them take pride in our classroom when we get nice things for them to use and enjoy. I get excited when I get new supplies to use. lol I also love to see the kids faces light up when they get new things, it's like Christmas morning.\r\n \r\nIt's nice for students to have a place to hang out when they are done with their work and socialize. Social skills are an important skill that many are lacking, so having this hang out place encourages that. They also have nice chairs to sit in when they are working on the computers. The previous ones leaned to one side and had been fixed multiple times by the janitor.","fullyFundedDate":1758498370985,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-work-area/9733356/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Work Area","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tomlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1674659_orig.jpg?crop=1795,1795,x169,y1126&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630686496093","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1674659"},{"teacherId":1674659,"projectId":9582934,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generosity in funding my project enabling me to get a dedicated laptop for my IEP's.

The outdated equipment being used was a constant source of frustration, often slowing down the process of writing reports and collaborating with the team. \r\nThis new laptop completely eliminated those challenges. The paperwork can be completed with greater speed and accuracy, which in turn frees up precious time that can be devoted to instructional planning, creating differentiated materials, and giving one-on-one attention to students.\r\nThe support has made a great difference by helping streamline workflow. It affirms that the work matters and that there are people like you who believe in empowering teachers.\r\nThank you again for your incredible kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1755696541908,"projectUrl":"project/equipped-and-ready/9582934/","projectTitle":"Equipped and Ready","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tomlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1674659_orig.jpg?crop=1795,1795,x169,y1126&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630686496093","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1674659"},{"teacherId":1674659,"projectId":9169116,"letterContent":"I just wanted to Thank the donors who gave to my project!! It is very much appreciated!!\r\nWorking with special needs students is always a challenge, but also very rewarding. Every student learns differently. What works for one may not work for another. Many of my students learn best when they can see a realistic picture related to what they are working on. This is when colored ink comes in handy. It is amazing how a realistic colored visual makes such a difference verses just a black and white when it comes to grasping a concept that is being taught.\r\nPaperwork and organization is also a must when dealing with special education. The folders and envelopes are a necessity ! The large envelopes come in handy when paperwork has to be mailed to parents.
