Because of you, my students are now using engaging, hands-on learning materials that have truly transformed the way they learn.\r\n\r\nWhile these tools may seem simple, they function as powerful \"classroom technology.\" The laminated materials, Velcro pieces, and reusable activities allow students to interact with their learning in a concrete, visual, and tactile way. This is especially important in our 8:1:2 classroom, where students benefit from structured, repeatable, and highly individualized instruction. Instead of completing a worksheet once, students can practice skills multiple times, receive immediate feedback, and build confidence through repetition and success.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been the interactive nature of the materials. They love being able to move pieces, build equations, and physically engage with math concepts. What might have once felt challenging now feels like a game. I've seen students eagerly reach for these activities, stay focused longer, and take pride in completing tasks independently.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously struggled to engage during math time have especially warmed to these materials. With the added visual supports and hands-on components, they are now participating more actively, making connections, and showing a deeper understanding of concepts like addition and number sense. It has been so rewarding to watch their confidence grow.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students' learning experiences. Thank you for helping create a classroom where all students can access, enjoy, and succeed in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1769893018921,"projectUrl":"project/durable-visual-learning-materials-for-o/10055607/","projectTitle":"Durable, Visual Learning Materials for Our Exceptional Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caraballo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10417253_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769376610957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/acaraballo"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_109445","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":294,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"29.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.4,"schoolId":109445,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Yonkers Early Childhood Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Yonkers Early Childhood Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/yonkers-early-childhood-academy/109445"}
