Your kindness and belief in the potential of my students have made a meaningful and lasting impact on their education, growth, and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, I was able to carefully select interactive digital tools that are specifically designed to support diverse learning needs. These resources have transformed the way my students engage with academic content, helping them access lessons in ways that are visually stimulating, hands-on, and responsive to their individual strengths. For many of my students, traditional learning materials can feel overwhelming or inaccessible. The digital resources you helped provide meet them where they are and open doors that were previously difficult to unlock.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes of these new tools has been the increase in student engagement. Lessons that once felt challenging or intimidating are now approached with curiosity and confidence. Interactive games, digital manipulatives, and multimedia activities allow students to practice essential skills such as reading, math, communication, and problem-solving in a way that feels fun rather than frustrating. I have seen students light up when they realize they can independently complete an activity, earn immediate feedback, or revisit a concept at their own pace without fear of making mistakes.\r\n\r\nYour support has also made it easier to differentiate instruction for my classroom. Each student has unique learning goals and abilities, and the digital resources purchased with your gift card allow me to tailor lessons to meet those individual needs. Whether a student requires extra repetition, visual supports, audio reinforcement, or enrichment opportunities, these tools make personalized learning possible. This flexibility has helped my students make measurable progress while building self-confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the digital resources have supported social-emotional growth as well. Many of the programs encourage turn-taking, goal setting, and positive reinforcement, helping students develop perseverance and a growth mindset. Students are learning that challenges can be overcome and that learning can be both rewarding and enjoyable. These are skills that extend far beyond the classroom and will continue to benefit them in everyday life.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for your investment in my students and in the field of special education. Your generosity sends a powerful message to my classroom: that their learning matters, their potential is valued, and there are people who believe in their success. Because of you, my students are experiencing education in exciting, interactive, and meaningful ways that will support their growth now and in the future.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to making a difference. Your support has truly changed lives, and I am honored to share the impact of your gift.","fullyFundedDate":1758898713438,"projectUrl":"project/top-tier-learning-with-tpt/9610200/","projectTitle":"Top-Tier Learning with TPT","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jonas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5461873_orig.jpg?crop=699,699,x0,y69&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679487980340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5461873"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93640","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":561,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":30,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":93640,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS/IS 295Q on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS/IS 295Q","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-is-295q/93640"}
