Participation increased, and students demonstrated improved confidence when completing independent work.\r\n\r\nOne standout moment happened during a reading lesson when a student independently completed a comprehension task using visual supports — something they previously required significant assistance to do.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are continuing to integrate these resources into small-group instruction and centers to reinforce IEP goals and promote independence.\r\n\r\nYour donation has strengthened daily instruction and expanded access to meaningful learning.","fullyFundedDate":1733274300287,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-get-resources-from-teachers-pay/8974979/","projectTitle":"Help Us Get Resources from Teachers Pay Teachers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4373163_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770920371723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/g-santiago"},{"teacherId":4373163,"projectId":9693414,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, math in our classroom has become meaningful, hands-on, and connected to real life.\r\n\r\nWhen I introduced the new Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) resources, my students were immediately more engaged. The structured visuals, clear directions, and interactive components made the lessons accessible and motivating. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by abstract numbers, students were able to manipulate materials, match visuals, and practice skills in ways that made sense to them.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources daily during small-group math instruction and independent work centers. The hands-on activities support critical life skills such as counting money, telling time, measuring, identifying coins, and understanding basic budgeting. For my exceptional learners, repetition and visual structure are key — and these materials provide exactly that.\r\n\r\nOne powerful moment occurred during a money skills lesson. A student who previously struggled to identify coin values successfully completed a \"classroom store\" activity using the TPT visuals and task cards. With the structured supports in place, they independently counted their coins and \"purchased\" an item. The pride on their face when they got it right was incredible. That moment wasn't just about math — it was about independence.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also increased student confidence. Because the tasks are differentiated and visually supported, students experience success more frequently. This has reduced frustration and helped build perseverance during challenging activities.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are expanding these skills into real-world practice. Students will continue applying their math knowledge through role-play activities, classroom simulations, and community-based instruction connections. Our goal is not just academic mastery, but functional independence.\r\n\r\nYour support has transformed math from a worksheet-based subject into an interactive, real-life learning experience. You have helped make math practical, accessible, and empowering for my exceptional learners. Thank you for investing in their growth and future independence.","fullyFundedDate":1757528518689,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math-real-life-skills-tpt-res/9693414/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Math, Real-Life Skills: TPT Resources for Our Exceptional Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4373163_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770920371723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/g-santiago"},{"teacherId":4373163,"projectId":8974991,"letterContent":"Because of your support, our classroom is becoming a space where students practice real-world job skills in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, students were excited to see tools that made learning feel \"grown-up\" and practical. We have been using them to practice sorting, organizing, assembling, and completing step-by-step vocational tasks.\r\n\r\nOne powerful moment occurred during a simulated job task when a student independently followed a visual checklist to complete their assignment. They beamed with pride and said, \"I did it like a real job!\" That confidence is exactly what we strive to build.\r\n\r\nThese materials are helping students develop critical transition skills such as task completion, following directions, stamina, and workplace readiness. We are now expanding into role-play job scenarios and timed work sessions to build endurance and independence.\r\n\r\nMy students also created thank-you notes to express their appreciation. They were proud to know that someone believes in their future and is investing in their success.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping prepare them not just for school — but for life.","fullyFundedDate":1733276172373,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-real-world-jobs/8974991/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning for Real-World Jobs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4373163_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770920371723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/g-santiago"},{"teacherId":4373163,"projectId":10080412,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a space filled with color, creativity, and calm.\r\n\r\nWhen the markers and coloring books arrived, my students were beyond excited. Many of them immediately noticed the bright colors and neatly organized supplies. For some of my students, new materials can feel overwhelming, but these were inviting and motivating. Several students asked, \"Can we color now?\" before I had even finished unpacking the box!\r\n\r\nWe are using the markers and coloring books daily during structured centers, social-emotional learning time, and calm-down breaks. Coloring has become an important tool in our classroom. For my students, it is more than just art — it helps strengthen fine motor skills, improve hand-eye coordination, and build focus and stamina. Many of my students benefit from repetitive, soothing activities, and coloring provides a safe and productive way to regulate their emotions.\r\n\r\nOne special moment that stood out was during our feelings lesson. Students colored emotion-themed pages while we talked about different facial expressions and coping strategies. One student who often struggles to participate verbally proudly held up their finished page and pointed to the \"calm\" face, showing us how they feel when they take deep breaths. That connection was powerful.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also supported peer interaction. Students are practicing sharing colors, requesting specific markers appropriately, and complimenting each other's work. These small social exchanges are big victories in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1770240577326,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calm-creativity/10080412/","projectTitle":"Creating Calm & Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4373163_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770920371723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/g-santiago"},{"teacherId":9905808,"projectId":9077264,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our 6:1:1 special education classroom! Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in my students' daily learning experience.\r\nWe've integrated the cleaning supplies into our weekly ADL (Activities of Daily Living) schedule, giving each student specific chores and life skills to practice. This hands-on approach helps them develop independence and responsibility while learning essential skills they'll use throughout their lives.\r\nThe excitement was immediate! My students were thrilled to explore the new materials and take ownership of their classroom responsibilities. There's something special about having fresh, quality supplies that makes even routine tasks feel engaging and important.\r\nThese materials are helping us create memorable learning experiences that extend far beyond our classroom walls. The science and ELA books you provided are enhancing our curriculum, giving students engaging content that supports their academic growth while the cleaning supplies build their practical life skills.
