The wide variety of items you provided—including the Goldfish and Cheez-It snack bundle, Pirate's Booty snack bags, and Mott's fruit snacks—has made an immediate and meaningful impact on our students. Many of our learners rely on classroom snacks to stay focused and comfortable throughout the day, and your contribution ensured that every student had access to something nourishing during lessons, small-group work, and independent practice. These snacks helped create a positive, welcoming environment where students could engage more confidently in their learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation of hygiene items, including the Degree and Secret travel-size deodorants, has also been incredibly helpful. These supplies supported students in maintaining their confidence and personal comfort, especially those who may not always have access to such items at home. The availability of these essentials has reduced anxiety for several students, promoted healthy routines, and contributed to a more inclusive classroom climate where students can focus on learning rather than personal worries.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the books and sensory items you provided—such as the Home of the Brave paperback, the Goosebumps 10-book collection, and the weighted plush dog and cat—have enriched both our academic and social-emotional learning. The books have sparked excitement for reading and have given students new opportunities to explore stories independently or with support. The weighted plush animals have been especially valuable in helping students regulate emotions, find comfort during challenging moments, and stay grounded during transitions. Your kindness has truly supported our classroom in multiple meaningful ways, and we are incredibly grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nMr. Adams\r\nSpecial Education Teacher\r\nLisbon Community School","fullyFundedDate":1757761583279,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies/9677596/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9245096_orig.png?crop=1592,1592,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737979886881","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245096"},{"teacherId":5255454,"projectId":9487999,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your willingness to support our Literacy and AAC project. This has been a wonderful experience both for myself and the students. Our engagement with our Literacy learning has increased. Students transition quickly to the carpet for Literacy Circle. They are using the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) boards during the reading to find the characters of the story, the setting, or other story actions. They are using the AAC boards to help them respond to comprehension questions. Our overall story comprehension has increased significantly since we started this routine.\r\n\r\nWe have been able to incorporate writing and art projects into our weekly routine around the story of the week. They love seeing their work displayed in the hall, and I enjoy watching their growth week to week.","fullyFundedDate":1755742019888,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-and-aac/9487999/","projectTitle":"Literacy and AAC","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5255454_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705110755377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5255454"},{"teacherId":8629230,"projectId":9454886,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my project: Back to School Supplies!
