Fidgets can make a huge difference in speech-language therapy, especially when balancing high cognitive load during articulation or language tasks with the need for sensory regulation. We use the fidgets strategically, which keeps sessions engaging and productive. These fidgets help them with concentration while also giving them an activity that involves some fine or gross motor movements with their hands as they are engaging in speech trials. We are even learning to tie the fidgets into trials by counting through squeezing, stretching, or popping for every repetition or target word.","fullyFundedDate":1788563007097,"projectUrl":"project/fidgets-and-concentration/10574172/","projectTitle":"Fidgets and Concentration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bosler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3456265_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1652209193463","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3456265"},{"teacherId":2230421,"projectId":10246017,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our classroom project for essential supplies at John Beatty Elementary School. Your support has brought critical learning tools—including writing journals, puzzles, and math manipulatives—directly into the hands of our kindergarten students.\r\nThese resources are already making a profound impact on our daily routines. The writing journals have given our young learners a dedicated space to practice their letters and express their creativity as they take their first steps toward literacy. The math manipulatives have turned abstract concepts into hands-on, concrete experiences, helping students grasp counting and patterns through play. Additionally, the puzzles have become a favorite activity for developing fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and teamwork during center time.\r\nFor many of our students, kindergarten is their very first introduction to a school environment. By providing these high-quality, essential materials, you have helped create an engaging, welcoming, and well-equipped classroom where they can truly thrive. You haven't just provided supplies; you have fueled a love for learning that will stay with these children for years to come.Thank you for investing in our classroom, our community, and the bright futures of our kindergarten students.","fullyFundedDate":1778030553125,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-excellence-equipping-our/10246017/","projectTitle":"Essentials for Excellence: Equipping Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peraza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2230421_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533820229357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2230421"},{"teacherId":8126367,"projectId":10024052,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to fund the Read Away project for my elementary students. In library we focus on a range of different book and comprehension skills. It is so important for students to have quality literature to do this with.

My students' eyes lit up with uncontainable joy as we unboxed everything together—gasps resonated through the room as they saw the massive Crayola crayon and marker classpacks, the pristine personal whiteboards, and the complete Treehouse book collection. Even the organizational tools, like our new automatic pencil sharpener and the clever pencil dispenser, brought immediate cheers. Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom now feels like a vibrant, fully stocked workshop where every student has exactly what they need to thrive.\r\n\r\nThese resources have instantly transformed our daily learning routines. During our small-group reading and math blocks, every student now holds their own double-sided dry erase board, allowing them to quickly sketch out answers, practice word building, and share their thinking in real time. During independent reading time, books like Enemy Pie and The Treehouse Series have become hot commodities that the kids cannot wait to dive into. Having all of our supply bins, colorful folders, and pre-sharpened pencils organized and accessible has eliminated wasted transition time and given the students a deep sense of pride in their shared space.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are using these tools to launch an exciting integrated literacy and art project. Inspired by our readings of Enemy Pie and The Miss Nelson Collection, the students are using their new composition notebooks, neon Post-its, and Astrobrights paper to map out, draft, and illustrate their own original storybooks about kindness and community. They are so excited to use the BIC gel pens, Crayola markers, and felt craft sheets to bring their final cover designs to life.
