They were appreciated and much needed to help us finish the school year strong. The supplies that remain will also be put to great use as we begin the new school year.\r\n\r\nThe students were excited to have the opportunity to create their own books and personalized packets of work.

Before this support, some students would go without a snack during the day, which could affect their focus, mood, and overall ability to engage in learning. With the donation, we are now able to reliably offer both a morning and afternoon snack, ensuring that every student has access to the nourishment they need to stay regulated and ready to participate.\r\n\r\nBeyond meeting a basic need, these snacks have become an important part of each student's routine. In an ABA setting, consistency and predictability are essential, and having designated snack times that all students can count on helps create a sense of security and structure. Students look forward to these moments, and something as simple as having a snack available can turn a challenging day into a more positive one. It also provides natural opportunities for practicing communication, social skills, and independence during snack routines.\r\n\r\nThis donation has not only supported our students physically but has also boosted their morale and sense of inclusion. No student feels left out or different because they don't have food from home, and that sense of equity makes a powerful difference. What might seem like a small gesture has had a lasting impact on our classroom community, helping our students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1769639685415,"projectUrl":"project/aba-rockstar-team-classroom-snacks/10053933/","projectTitle":"ABA Rockstar Team Classroom Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bunion","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9967387_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752331901122","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9967387"},{"teacherId":10332623,"projectId":10155175,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom.

Many of my students are working hard to build foundational skills such as decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension, and your contributions help provide the tools and resources they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to see all the Fidget Games! They could not wait to see which one we would play each day. So far the favorite is the SquishyLand. \r\n\r\nWith these resources, I am able to provide more targeted instruction, including small group learning opportunities that meet students at their individual levels. This has made a meaningful difference in helping students stay engaged, practice essential skills, and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nYour support has created a positive and encouraging learning environment where all students feel supported and capable.

Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe are using the chairs every day during our collaborative lessons and small-group projects. One recent moment that stood out was during a group problem-solving activity. Students were able to easily roll their chairs together to form discussion circles, share ideas, and work through challenges as a team. The mobility of the chairs has made it much easier for students to transition between independent work, partner work, and group discussions without losing focus.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the chairs, they were incredibly excited. There were lots of smiles and immediate comments about how comfortable they were. Many students noticed right away how easily they could move to join their classmates or turn to participate in discussions. It created a fun and positive energy in the classroom that carried right into our lesson.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using the chairs to support more collaborative learning activities. Our next steps include group research projects and peer-review sessions where students will move between stations, share their work, and give feedback to classmates. The flexible seating helps create a classroom where students can interact, communicate, and stay engaged in their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and our students. Your support helps create a space where learning can be active, collaborative, and exciting every day.","fullyFundedDate":1765337143094,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-chairs/9794635/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Chairs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olivero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8052162"},{"teacherId":7649494,"projectId":9587362,"letterContent":"Your generous donations have made a meaningful difference in my classroom, and I truly appreciate your support.

Having access to these resources helps me bring new ideas into the classroom and better meet the needs of all my students.\r\n\r\nI am also very grateful for the Lysol sprays that help keep our classroom clean and healthy. With so many students sharing a learning space each day, having supplies that allow us to maintain a clean environment is incredibly important. Your donation helps ensure that our classroom remains a safe and comfortable place where students can focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe sharpened pencils and pencil boxes are another wonderful support for my students. Many of my students frequently need pencils, and having sharpened ones ready to go saves valuable class time. The pencil boxes will also help students stay organized, especially those who may not have storage for their supplies or whose boxes break throughout the year.

Students especially enjoy using the Wiki Stix to show their knowledge of letters and sounds in a hands-on way. The reading games have also added a fun and motivating element to our literacy instruction, making learning feel like play while still reinforcing important skills.\r\n\r\nI love finding creative ways to make learning meaningful and enjoyable, and these materials have helped make that possible. Project-based assessments have been a huge success, giving students the opportunity to show their learning in ways that feel exciting and empowering.
