Because of you, my students now have access to hands-on, engaging materials that make learning language skills fun, meaningful, and accessible.\r\nThe Super Duper MagneTalk Match-Up Adventure Kit is already making a powerful impact. These materials allow students to actively practice vocabulary, early sound awareness, and sentence skills using magnetic pieces that support attention, turn-taking, and expressive language. For many of my students, hands-on learning is essential—and these tools make abstract language concepts concrete and achievable.\r\nThe educational resource gift card has allowed me to customize materials to meet individual student needs, including and specially! differentiated visuals, language supports, and practice activities. This flexibility ensures that every student can access instruction at their level and make meaningful progress.\r\nThe dot markers and scented washable markers have been a huge hit! These tools support fine motor skills, visual attention, following directions, and make articulation practice feels like play. These materials increase engagement and motivation while still targeting important developmental skills.\r\nFinally, the sanitation supplies (disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer) help us maintain a clean, safe, and healthy learning environment so students can focus on learning without worry.\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students are more engaged, more confident, and more excited to participate in learning. Your generosity directly supports their communication growth and helps create a positive, supportive space where every child feels successful.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your impact is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1762379469408,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-futures-safe-engaging/9660723/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Futures: Safe, Engaging, and Inspiring Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Landa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2595392_orig.jpg?crop=991,991,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756399172101","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2595392"},{"teacherId":2595392,"projectId":9660686,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our project.

It has been amazing to watch their engagement confidence grow as they sort, build, and make connections through hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nOur late elementary students have jumped right into the Context Clues Fun Decks, Story Retell Cards, and Informational Text Task Cards. These tools have already helped them use context clues more effectively, and retell stories with greater detail and structure. The engagement and excitement during these activities have been incredible to see.\r\n\r\nYour generosity provided real, immediate benefits for students across multiple grade levels. Because of you, our classroom is filled with more curiosity, more learning, and more joyful moments of discovery.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and making such a meaningful impact.
