Because of your generosity, my students are now using hands-on toys and materials every day to stack, sort, snap, and build during structured learning centers and independent work time. One of my favorite moments was watching a student carefully snap pieces together for the first time—after several attempts, they succeeded and immediately smiled and clapped, clearly proud of themselves. Moments like this show just how powerful learning through play can be.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were excited and curious. They eagerly reached for the new items, exploring the textures and colors with enthusiasm. Some students began stacking right away, while others took their time sorting and experimenting. These tools quickly became favorites, helping students stay focused while strengthening hand-eye coordination, hand strength, and fine motor skills in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our next steps include using these materials to build more complex tasks such as following multi-step directions, problem-solving challenges, and cooperative play with peers. As students gain confidence and independence, we will continue incorporating these resources into daily lessons to support communication, creativity, and functional life skills. Your contribution has helped create an engaging, inclusive classroom where my students can grow, explore, and experience the joy of learning every single day. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1758847003904,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-fun-building-stacking-and-so/9656303/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Fun: Building, Stacking, and Sorting","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9677193_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756132114745","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9677193"},{"teacherId":9677193,"projectId":9655868,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students are gaining essential life skills that will help them grow more independent both in and out of the classroom. The materials from this project have transformed our learning space into a more structured, organized, and engaging environment where students feel supported and confident.\r\n\r\nWith the use of colored masking tape, students can clearly see where activities take place and understand classroom boundaries, allowing them to follow routines with greater independence. Line-up dots provide a consistent visual cue that helps students practice lining up on their own, reducing anxiety and building confidence during transitions throughout the day.\r\n\r\nLamination sheets have allowed me to create durable, reusable learning materials so students can safely practice personal information such as their names, phone numbers, and addresses. These are critical real-world skills that promote independence and personal safety beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nNoise-canceling headphones have been especially impactful for students who are sensitive to sound. By reducing overwhelming noise, these headphones help students stay calm, focused, and fully engaged in learning activities, making the classroom a more inclusive space for everyone.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are developing daily living skills, self-confidence, and independence that will serve them for a lifetime. Your donation is helping them practice routines, take responsibility for themselves, and prepare for a future where they can navigate the world with greater success and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1758222639611,"projectUrl":"project/building-independence-one-skill-at-a-ti/9655868/","projectTitle":"Building Independence, One Skill at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9677193_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756132114745","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9677193"},{"teacherId":8057247,"projectId":9269036,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping bring a cozy, empowering reading library to life in our classroom.

Several of them rushed over to try them out. It was such a joyful moment to see their faces light up as they discovered that these seats were truly designed with their needs in mind.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've been using the stools daily during lessons and small-group activities. They've made a big difference in helping my students with attention and sensory regulation. For example, during a recent reading activity, one student who often struggles to stay in his seat was able to stay focused and engaged the entire time while sitting on a stool. Having the ability to gently move while working gave him the regulation he needed to participate fully.\r\n\r\nMy students now have a choice in how they learn best.
