I have been able to read more about serving my students who have special needs. As both a general education teacher and a newer teacher, I have lots to learn about helping students who have disabilities. \r\n\r\nSince receiving these books, I have been reading them in my spare time after school hours whenever I can. I especially love the book Behavior Solutions for the Inclusive Classroom. Our school is all inclusion, that book in particular has really helped me put some \"tools\" in my teacher toolbox.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me learn and grow so I can help my students learn and grow!","fullyFundedDate":1784343202565,"projectUrl":"project/inquiring-about-inclusivity/10352685/","projectTitle":"Inquiring About Inclusivity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heinlen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10010642_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747760758015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shelbyheinlen"},{"teacherId":7027233,"projectId":9983941,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support of our classroom project, \"Weaving Art into Science.\" Thanks to your kindness, we were able to purchase clay for firing, specialized firing glazes, and sponges for shaping and cleanup. Bringing hands-on artistic mediums into our science curriculum transforms abstract concepts into tactile, memorable experiences, and your generosity directly made that possible.\r\n\r\nThe enthusiasm in the room when the students first opened the clay was infectious. They dove right into their creations, and for days afterward, they eagerly asked when we could work with the clay again. These materials have sparked a genuine excitement for learning, and because of the supplies we received, we will be able to complete several more interdisciplinary projects throughout the remainder of the school year.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our classroom does far more than just fund supplies—it fosters curiosity, creativity, and a lasting joy in discovery for these young learners.

Some were double sided, some were not. Some had writing all over the back, or had chips.

I truly believe there is an indescribable connection and value to reading from a real physical book as opposed to a screen.
