Its worked well so far!\r\nThe erasable pens have been life changing for my students. They are working on writing written responses using a specific strategy. With the erasable pens, they are able to write each required sentence or sentences with a different color. Mistakes are easy to correct and the colors make each sentence jump out of the page. The students love to use them and their willingness to write has definitely increased!\r\nAgain, thank you so very much!","fullyFundedDate":1768145585511,"projectUrl":"project/using-the-races-strategy-and-organizing/9995530/","projectTitle":"Using the RACES strategy and organizing the classroom more","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Black","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4423727_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533523790948","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-black409"},{"teacherId":10404595,"projectId":10022366,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project.

Games and incentives allow my students to practice challenging sounds and complex language skills. Their eyes lit up with excitement to see the newly filled treasure box! The Pop-Up Mario game was a hit in all my small groups this week. Your donation helps build their confidence, increases their time on task, and allows them to persist through repetition, which is essential for meeting their individual speech goals.\r\nCommunication is the foundation of all academic learning, and your support directly strengthens that foundation. The interactive games and incentives you provided align with educational standards by supporting literacy, vocabulary development, articulation, and oral language skills, while also fostering critical social-emotional skills like turn-taking, self-regulation, and social reciprocity.
