Because of your kindness, my students now have access to engaging, hands-on materials that directly support their learning, communication, and independence. Tools like the Giant Classroom Timer have made a huge difference in helping my students understand transitions, which is an area many of them struggle with. The instant learning centers for addition, subtraction, and letter recognition are being used during small group and center time to build early academic skills in a way that is interactive and accessible for all learners.\r\n\r\nMy students were incredibly excited when they first explored the materials. Many of them benefit from sensory and hands-on learning, and items like kinetic sand, fidget tubes, and building toys have helped them stay engaged and regulated throughout the day. I've seen students who previously had difficulty attending begin to participate more actively, especially when using the musical toys and manipulatives. The laminating supplies and write-and-wipe materials have also allowed me to create individualized visual supports and reusable activities, which are essential for my students who rely on visuals to communicate and learn.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are developing important life skills such as following routines, communicating their needs, and participating in classroom activities with greater independence. These materials are not just tools—they are opening doors for my students to engage, learn, and grow with confidence. Your generosity has made a meaningful and lasting impact in our classroom, and I am truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1768181749813,"projectUrl":"project/behavior-regulation-resources-in-a-pre-k/10005998/","projectTitle":"Behavior Regulation Resources in a Pre-K Autism Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shiela T","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5815115_orig.jpg?crop=735,735,x1189,y766&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661702065913","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5815115"},{"teacherId":8130608,"projectId":10030765,"letterContent":"I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to our first-grade classroom.
