The materials you helped fund—from interactive pretend play sets like the ice cream counter and pizza oven to calming sensory tools like weighted plush toys, tactile mats, and fidget items—have transformed our therapy sessions into meaningful and joyful experiences that align with the school's Tools of the Mind curriculum.\r\n\r\nAs I presented the materials, the students' excitement was contagious. One student immediately began scooping \"ice cream\" for his peers using sentences like \"I want vanilla!\"—a huge step forward for him. \r\n\r\nWe're using these materials daily to support expressive and receptive language goals, promote peer interaction, and help students self-regulate. The sensory items, including stress putty, poppers, and therapy brushes, have been especially helpful in creating a calming corner for students who need a break to reset and refocus.\r\n\r\nWe have been incorporating these tools into small group therapy activities that encourage vocabulary growth, sentence expansion, and social play. The added storage bins and organizational tools also help keep our space inviting and accessible for little learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students learn through play, express themselves more confidently, and experience joy in their growth—your support is making a lasting difference!","fullyFundedDate":1735770732524,"projectUrl":"project/toys-that-help-little-hands-and-minds-th/8772550/","projectTitle":"Toys that Help Little Hands and Minds Thrive!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lucy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8890203"},{"teacherId":9891224,"projectId":9046830,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and our entire Speech Therapy Department at our school I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of toys and iPads. We are blown away by your generosity! Your kindness and support mean so much. \r\n\r\nThe toys have already brought so much joy and excitement into our speech therapy sessions, helping to foster creativity, play, and social interaction. But the iPads, in particular, have had an immediate and transformative impact. Many of my students face communication challenges, and these devices are powerful tools that support their ability to express themselves more clearly and confidently.\r\n\r\nWith the iPads, we will be able to use specialized apps that assist with speech, language development, and alternative communication methods. For some of our students, this means having a voice for the very first time. Your donation is not just a gift of technology—it is a gift of connection, empowerment, and inclusion.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible generosity!

Your generous contribution to my DonorsChoose project is making a real difference in their lives.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, I am now able to create an engaging and motivating environment for my students to communicate and learn. Many of my students are non-speaking or non-verbal, and with the ball popper toy, bubbles, and other new materials, I'll be able to provide a multisensory experience that encourages language development and speech improvement. The themed toys, like multicultural baby dolls and grocery items, will help my students access the thematic curriculum, build their play and pretend skills, and have fun along the way!\r\n\r\nBooks, especially interactive ones with puppets, are also crucial in supporting my students' growth, particularly those with autism. These resources will help to expand their language, social skills, and overall development.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and support are making a significant impact on my students' learning experiences.
