Your kindness helped us restock essential supplies just when we needed them most.\r\n\r\nWhen our new materials arrived, the students were so excited—they noticed right away that their favorite bins were refilled, and they eagerly reached for their familiar tools. One student smiled and clapped when he saw the fresh packs of markers and Play-Doh on his work tray. Another immediately started sorting through new visuals and picture symbols to use during the morning meeting.\r\n\r\nWe've already put these materials to use in several classroom routines. One highlight was during our independent work rotations. With newly restocked reinforcers and supplies, students were more focused and motivated to complete their tasks, whether it was matching, labeling, or fine motor work like lacing and pasting. These tools are essential for reinforcing learning in ways that are accessible and meaningful to each student.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we're working on a functional literacy unit where students are building their personal communication books. Thanks to the new laminating sheets, velcro, and visuals, we're able to personalize each book with key vocabulary and symbols. Our next step is to use these books during our community-based instruction lessons, allowing students to make choices and communicate with greater independence.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a direct, daily impact on our classroom—and we're so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1742902201597,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-mid-year-replenish/9207301/","projectTitle":"Classroom Mid Year Replenish","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Paige Flynn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8401299_orig.jpg?crop=433,433,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692905099088","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-paige-flynn"},{"teacherId":6148294,"projectId":9099846,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations which helped me provide books for my students.

We created scenarios where students must make financial decisions (e.g., buying a car, planning a vacation) and have them discuss their choices and the outcomes. We have also established a classroom economy where students earn \"money\" for completing tasks or good behavior. They can spend it on rewards or save for larger items.

They are learning the basic tasks required to do laundry. Our weekly lessons incorporate structure and flexibility while providing visual and sensory supports to accommodate individual needs. Each student has a unique job to support this program. Some students collect the laundry and distribute it to other classrooms when it's complete. Some students fold the laundry. Some students sort the laundry. Some students load the laundry into the machine.
