My students are deaf and hard of hearing. They do not often have the opportunity to read books that have characters that are like them. Your gift of these books has already made such a positive impact on my students. To watch them look through the books and see that each one has deaf characters or is about hearing loss and see the smiles come across their faces is priceless. For the middle school and high school students specifically, this matters. They finally feel seen. They don't feel so isolated.\r\n\r\nThese students may not always remember that it was your generosity that allowed them the opportunity to read books with characters that represent them, but they will ALWAYS remember the way they felt when reading the books.\r\n\r\nThank you, thank you, thank you. You have made a difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1750005007296,"projectUrl":"project/books-with-deafhoh-characters-my-studen/9251561/","projectTitle":"Books With Deaf/HOH Characters My Students Can Relate To","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lonsway","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9708147"},{"teacherId":9490651,"projectId":8978180,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your donations! My students have been able to use these STEM items on a daily basis and absolutely love them! One of the most recent endeavors for the students have been to guess the smell. Each week we try a different number set, and then we discuss what each smell reminds us of. From fresh grass to fruity cleaning products - it's been a fun activity that all of the students have enjoyed. It's an easy way to focus on science based learning, and practicing the steps of forming hypothesis and checking our work, and repeating again and again.\r\n\r\nThe added bonus has been the uptick in communication and the willingness of the students to be completely involved in discussion and dissection of each topic we bring to the table. These STEM activities have brought joy and intrigue to students who tell me they tend to not like science. These make it fun for everyone again! I work with students in all the grades k-12, and ALL of them love when I bring these out! Thank you for making learning fun for our students who are struggling.
