Your support has already made a meaningful impact on my students. With the items purchased, they now have the flexibility to draw in different areas of the classroom, helping them feel more inspired and comfortable as they create. We've also had the opportunity to take our art lessons outside, allowing students to explore new environments and express themselves in fresh ways.\r\nThe additional supplies will be thoughtfully incorporated into future lessons and will be available for students to use during various projects throughout the year. These resources not only enhance their artistic experience but also provide opportunities they might not have had otherwise.\r\nYour kindness and support mean the world to us. Thank you again for believing in the power of art and helping to nurture creativity in young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1746975195733,"projectUrl":"project/drawing-board-and-other-art-supplies/9250897/","projectTitle":"Drawing Board and Other Art Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. K","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9817934"},{"teacherId":7145028,"projectId":8910674,"letterContent":"I cannot tell you what a difference having keyboards in the classroom has made! \r\nStudents have developed self confidence through learning songs on the piano, and show greater independence in their self expression! Students would ask me at the end of class, \"Are you bringing the pianos back?\" They really loved using them.\r\nOne of my classes made me a list of their top ten favorite songs and I picked the most accessible song for each student to learn to play chords charts for. To go beyond playing \"Twinkle Twinkle\" and play songs that really meant something personal to them, it was such an \"aha!\" moment. \r\nThey didn't just want to play their songs for me, they wanted to play their songs for other teachers too. The lightbulb went off that they can take music home and play chord charts for any song they like. They beamed with accomplishment from this project. This was not something I have been able to accomplish on ukulele or drums, though I have tried. \r\n\r\nThank you, from the bottom of my heart, for gifting the students a way to express themselves musically and emotionally. The pianos have been such a game changer.","fullyFundedDate":1737722246745,"projectUrl":"project/musical-coping-skills-for-mental-health/8910674/","projectTitle":"Musical Coping Skills for Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gifford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7145028"},{"teacherId":9818539,"projectId":8907594,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your very generous donation to my room.

The wiggle wobble desk legs help the students self regulate and get their need for movement in while still being able to learn with minimal distractions. The clock helps to give them a visual for a timer. All of the these things have helped to improve their mental health, allow them to self regulate with quick breaks, and stay in my lessons longer.

These items are used at various times throughout the school day to provide vestibular input. The students who utilize these items have difficulty processing sensory stimuli and need additional input such as bouncing and rocking to regulate their systems allowing improved attention and emotional regulation. These items allow for subtle movement and bouncing right at their desks while they are participating with the lesson. In the past, these same students needed to leave the classroom to go to the sensory room or therapy room to obtain this input. They are now able to self-regulate within their classroom, not missing any important learning opportunities.\r\nThe students readily gravitate to these items knowing that they can now address their needs independently.","fullyFundedDate":1730571535708,"projectUrl":"project/moving-into-good-mental-heath/8913542/","projectTitle":"Moving Into Good Mental Heath","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marinaccio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9822149"},{"teacherId":9817934,"projectId":8910613,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my special education art program.

I have enjoyed watching their creativity and individual personalities come out in their work. It is exciting to see their faces light up when others acknowledge how spectacular and interesting their artwork is.
