Many of my students struggle to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas using spoken language alone, which can often lead to frustration or withdrawal. The resources you helped provide give my students multiple ways to communicate, interact, and participate meaningfully throughout the day. Visual supports offer clarity and structure, helping students understand routines, make choices, and feel secure in what is expected of them. Hands-on tools such as fine motor manipulatives, sensory materials, and interactive games allow students to engage their bodies while learning, which increases focus and reduces anxiety. Pretend play materials and language-based games create natural opportunities for students to practice vocabulary, sentence structure, turn-taking, and social communication in ways that feel fun and motivating rather than intimidating. These resources are not just tools; they are bridges that help my students connect with peers, adults, and the world around them.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support extends far beyond academic skill-building. With these materials, my students are learning that communication is powerful and that their voices no matter how they are expressed have value. I see students who were once hesitant begin to initiate interactions, make requests, and share ideas with growing confidence. I see pride when a student successfully communicates a need or participates in a group activity for the first time. These moments may seem small, but for my students, they are life-changing. The resources you funded help create a classroom where differences are supported, strengths are celebrated, and every child feels seen and heard. Your generosity has allowed me to better meet my students where they are and provide the tools they need to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Because of you, my students are not only developing communication skills they are developing self-worth, independence, and the belief that what they have to say truly matters. Thank you for making such a meaningful and lasting impact on our classroom and on the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1768684007164,"projectUrl":"project/communication-is-key/10028380/","projectTitle":"Communication is key","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Verre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8123978"},{"teacherId":2910033,"projectId":9498284,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students and staff, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of books to our classroom library. Your thoughtful contribution has made an incredible difference in our students' daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe titles you selected are engaging, diverse, and perfectly aligned with our students' reading levels and interests. These stories invite laughter, curiosity, and connection while exposing students to a variety of cultures, experiences, and perspectives. Because the books are available directly in our classroom, students have immediate, hands-on access to quality literature that they are genuinely excited to read.\r\n\r\nAlready, we have seen the joy and enthusiasm your donation has sparked. Students are eagerly discussing characters and plot twists, recommending books to friends, and setting personal reading goals. For many, these books have opened new worlds of imagination and provided a sense of belonging as they find stories that reflect their own lives.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped build more than just a library—it has built a community of readers who feel seen, inspired, and motivated to learn. Thank you for believing in the power of books and for supporting our mission to nurture a lifelong love of reading in every child.","fullyFundedDate":1755898560695,"projectUrl":"project/chapter-champs-growing-great-readers/9498284/","projectTitle":"Chapter Champs: Growing Great Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. F.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2910033_orig.jpg?crop=534,534,x68,y524&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633363591392","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2910033"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83112","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":407,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.5,"schoolId":83112,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roy H Gomm Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roy H Gomm Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/roy-h-gomm-elementary-school/83112"}
