From the moment the resources arrived, students were excited to explore the new tools and activities. The fine motor toys and manipulatives immediately captured their attention, promoting active participation and hands-on learning. Many of our students learn best with a multi-sensory approach, and these materials have helped to support their ability to develop fine motor skills essential for success in daily classroom tasks.\r\n\r\nThese resources have now become an integral part of our daily therapy sessions, supporting both academic and social-emotional growth. Students use the sensory tools to self-regulate and prepare for learning, while the fine motor activities promote precision, concentration, and perseverance. Your contribution has made a lasting impact by fostering an inclusive, supportive environment where all students can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758812510049,"projectUrl":"project/ot-sensory-and-fine-motor-tools-for-succ/9728868/","projectTitle":"OT Sensory and Fine Motor Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenny","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3233947_orig.jpg?crop=1470,1471,x0,y156&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758323825719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3233947"},{"teacherId":9721285,"projectId":9463000,"letterContent":"I can't thank you all enough. Our project has been fully funded, and my speech therapy room is now filled with the most joyful, engaging toys! Every single contribution, no matter the size, made this possible. To everyone who donated, shared, or even just cheered us on, please know how deeply grateful I am. You've given my students more than toys, you've given them opportunities to grow, connect, and have fun while doing it all.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions have been priceless. Their eyes lit up the first time they saw the new toys, and therapy instantly became even more exciting. We've already started using the toys to target expressive language — practicing requests like \"more cars!\" or \"push the button,\" building vocabulary with action words, and encouraging little voices to share comments like \"wow\" or \"it's fast!\" These moments may seem small, but for my students, they're huge steps toward confident communication.\r\n\r\nThe toys have also created new opportunities for turn-taking and cooperative play. When we play with ramps, race cars, or ball poppers in small groups, the students are practicing waiting, sharing, and responding to one another. These are essential social and pragmatic skills, and it's incredible to see how much more naturally they come out during play. Every giggle, every \"my turn,\" every high-five has been a reminder that play is one of the best teachers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us make speech therapy not just a place for learning, but a place of joy, laughter, and connection. You've had a direct impact on these amazing children, and I'm so excited to keep sharing their progress with you.","fullyFundedDate":1756823300140,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play-in-speech-therapy/9463000/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play in Speech Therapy!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sharron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721285_orig.png?crop=558,558,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732119640342","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721285"},{"teacherId":3233947,"projectId":9187116,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project! The new sensory tools have made a huge difference in helping our students learn to self-regulate and become more independent. We've been using the materials daily during transitions and work time, and it's been amazing to see students recognize when they need a break, choose a calming tool, and return to learning with focus and confidence. \r\n\r\nOur next step is helping each student build a personal \"self-regulation toolkit\" so they can continue developing independence and emotional awareness. These resources have truly changed the atmosphere in our school, creating a calmer, more supportive environment for everyone.
