I was so excited to get a call from the front office saying I had \"a bunch of packages\" the day they started arriving. Little did I know this would ring true in the days to follow as all my goodies were being delivered! I'm a speech-language pathologist so I've been scheduling and organizing my therapy room with all of my new materials and I'm anxiously awaiting the day I get to use them with my students. It is so wonderful to have pre-made pictures for my students who have limited verbalizations to be able to express their feelings. It will really help for communication! My social groups will really enjoy the conversation starter cards and doing daily affirmations to help build self-confidence. I'm going to hang them in my room so each student can read and interact with them daily. My goal this year is to include confidence building in my social groups. Thank you for helping me to achieve this goal! It is because of generous donors like you that educators are able to gain all the necessary materials needed to fully provide for our students!! Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten!

(1) Starting with me, thank you for choosing to be a part of Donors Choose and blessing my classroom and the classes that are held in my room each day including last semester's classes. This act of kindness shows me that teachers are valued and allows me to focus on classroom instruction; the items on display in my room has a positive effect on us all, as we enter Room 615 contributing to pride and student achievement. Students walk into the room differently now and we owe this positive, productive environment to you and the mission of Donors Choose. \r\nI've been teaching for 19 years, and this has been my first time venturing out for help, but I've transferred to another school and after teaching 5th grade math for all of those years, I was able to accumulate things over the years for my previous classroom, however I found myself in a bind and needed more for high school. I now have 9th grade math inclusion. So, I decided to give Donors Choose a try. So, from the bottom of my heart and all the students I serve.
