In our class, we have 6 students who all have Autism and are mostly non-verbal. The items that you sponsored for our classroom have helped them begin to learn and grow in ways you cannot imagine. \r\nWhen our students first saw the new toys and materials their face lit up with excitement. They couldn't wait to get their hands (and mouths) on the foam letter shapes! They were excited to play with the various connector toys and manipulatives and they were also very excited with the stamp pads. In addition to the stamps that were meant for the stamp pads, they enjoyed putting their fingers directly into the stamp pads as well. It was a great sensory activity for them all.\r\nIn closing, we really appreciate all of your donations and you help in making our classroom a sensory rich and stimulating classroom environment.

The students in my room are 5-7 years old and are all severely autistic. When they came in to our class in September we had very few materials. It was incredibly hard to occupy them, let alone teach them anything academic.\r\nWith the help of your donations, we have been able to start exposing them to ELA centers and curriculum. Our students enjoy using the letter foam stringing activity as it also helps them with their fine motor skills. They also love the texture of the foam shapes and some of them even explore the texture by putting it in their mouths. Since the letters are foam, they can't ruin them or break them. It has been such an asset to our classroom. In addition, the ABC monkey activity has been lots of fun for them to play with. Some of the children are now able to start working on spelling their names and are beginning to recognize letters of the alphabet as well. The monkeys are very colorful which always makes them an exciting activity to engage in. Lastly, the stretchy tube connectors are a really big hit! Our students love opening and closing them and even swinging them around. They are very excited to play with them! \r\nThank you so much for your support- we are extremely grateful!!","fullyFundedDate":1757644025582,"projectUrl":"project/starting-new-class-set-up/9678140/","projectTitle":"Starting New Class Set Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leitner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239868"},{"teacherId":44041,"projectId":9438339,"letterContent":"This is so awesome!
