Our students have been using the new sensory table during center time, and it has quickly become a favorite. We've been incorporating it into our daily routines with activities like scooping, pouring, sorting, and exploring different materials connected to our classroom studies. During one recent activity, students worked together to fill and compare containers, which naturally supported early math skills, language development, and social interaction. It has created so many meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the table, their excitement said it all—they were immediately drawn to it and couldn't wait to explore. Even students who are sometimes hesitant to try new activities were engaged and curious. The sensory table has also been incredibly helpful in supporting regulation, allowing students to stay calm, focused, and ready to participate in learning. It's been so special to see their confidence grow as they explore and interact with one another.","fullyFundedDate":1768577162864,"projectUrl":"project/future-scientist-in-the-making/10018867/","projectTitle":"Future Scientist in the Making","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3692726_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528073411807","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3692726"},{"teacherId":8139020,"projectId":10034413,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to an iPad that has quickly become a valuable tool for learning and engagement. In our classrooms, this technology supports students in ways that traditional materials often cannot. The iPad allows me to provide visual schedules, First/Then supports, timers, and interactive learning tools that help students better understand expectations, stay focused, and transition between tasks. For students with communication, attention, and processing needs, having information presented visually and interactively makes a meaningful difference in their ability to participate and be successful.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful aspects of this device has been how it supports both students and the teachers I coach. Students have shown increased engagement and willingness to participate, especially during tasks they previously found challenging. At the same time, I am able to use the iPad to model evidence-based strategies for teachers in real time, helping them implement supports with greater consistency and confidence across classrooms. This has helped create more structured and supportive learning environments for students throughout the school.\r\n\r\nSome students who previously struggled to stay engaged or regulate their behavior are now able to remain on task longer and complete activities more independently. Seeing both student progress and teacher growth has made a significant impact. Your support has provided a tool that benefits not only individual students, but also strengthens instructional practices across multiple classrooms. Thank you for helping make this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1768739268303,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-special-education-classrooms/10034413/","projectTitle":"Supporting Special Education Classrooms Through Behavior and Instructional Coaching","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grippe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8139020"},{"teacherId":10403740,"projectId":10017951,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your extremely generous donation.

The new speech and language intervention materials have already become a staple in our daily sessions. We recently used the new games to practice articulation and social turn-taking, and seeing the students so engaged and motivated to reach their goals has been truly moving.\r\n\r\nBeyond the learning tools, the organization and storage solutions have completely transformed our space. Having a dedicated place for every resource allows us to transition between activities smoothly, maximizing our precious therapy time. And of course, the treasure box has been the ultimate motivator!

The addition of emotional regulation tools has given my students accessible, concrete strategies to manage their feelings throughout the day. With items like calming tools and sensory supports, students are better able to recognize when they need a break, reset, and return to learning more focused and ready. This has helped create a more positive and supportive classroom environment where students feel safe, understood, and empowered to take ownership of their emotions.\r\n\r\nThe small group reading books have also been incredibly valuable in strengthening my literacy instruction. Having access to engaging, appropriately leveled texts allows me to better meet the diverse needs of my students during guided reading time. Students are more motivated and confident when working with books that match their abilities, which has led to noticeable growth in both fluency and comprehension. Overall, these resources have helped me provide more targeted, effective instruction while fostering a love of reading in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768339854175,"projectUrl":"project/growing-with-confidence-and-success/10011133/","projectTitle":"Growing with Confidence and Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ibsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6934460_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600621319551","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6934460"},{"teacherId":2816699,"projectId":10006586,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our DonorsChoose project, Splendid Supplies. The dry erase boards, markers, and erasers have been used daily since we received them. Students love to model their work on their personal dry erase boards. I will say, \"One, two, three, show me\" and they all turn their completed work towards me. It is an excellent way to see who is understanding (or not understanding) the content in the moment. Kids love working on their personal dry erase boards and also the class board up front.\r\n\r\nThe math games add to our selection so the kids can have fun learning math with their peers. Mathelogical Liar is such a great game as is the multiplication and division bingo. The kids so enjoy playing with math! \r\n\r\nThanks from the bottom of my heart.

I requested a variety of different materials that are impacting my students - from organizational materials, art supplies, reading materials, and materials to use for collaboration activities.\r\n\r\nOne activity that my students participate in is writing letters to Comfort Dogs across the country. My students not only write letters but send pictures to the dogs. When we receive responses, we put them on our letter writing board and learn about the different geographic regions of the United States.\r\n\r\nWe are also becoming better readers and the books that we received are being enjoyed by the students in our classroom.

Your kindness has made a meaningful impact on my first graders and their growth as readers and writers.\r\n\r\nWith the supplies you helped provide, I am able to create large, clear anchor charts that serve as daily visual supports for students as they develop their writing skills. The colored pens and Colors of the World crayons allow students to edit and revise their writing with confidence while celebrating creativity and inclusivity. These tools make the writing process more engaging and less intimidating, especially as students begin writing paragraphs.\r\n\r\nThe pocket sheet protectors have been incredibly helpful during small-group phonics instruction, allowing students to practice skills hands-on while staying focused. The adjustable-height rolling cart has also been a game changer, enabling me to move efficiently around the room with my laptop and materials so I can better meet students' needs in the moment.\r\n\r\nFinally, the plush and squishy encouragement items have become powerful motivators. My students work hard, take risks, and persevere—especially during writing—and earning these rewards reinforces effort, growth, and a love of learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their success.

We used the lapboards during a multiplication and division lesson, and it turned into a great moment of engagement. Every student was able to quickly write their answer, hold it up, and make corrections without worrying about making mistakes. It allowed me to quickly check for understanding and gave students more confidence to participate.\r\n\r\nThe electric pencil sharpener has also made a big difference in our classroom routine. Instead of waiting in line or dealing with broken manual sharpeners, students can quickly sharpen their pencils and get back to learning. The classroom headphones have been especially helpful during our reading and science rotations. Students are able to listen to educational videos, practice reading fluency, and complete online learning activities without distracting others.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to continue using these materials during small group rotations and independent practice. The lapboards will be used for quick math checks, spelling practice, and science vocabulary. The headphones will support our online reading and research projects as students learn more about topics like natural resources and important industries.
