The bins and magnets you donated have already made a big difference in our preschool classroom.\r\n\r\nBeing able to organize materials and store off-rotation items has helped make our room feel calmer and less overwhelming for the children. Some of my students come to school already overstimulated, and having a more organized space helps them focus, regulate, and feel comfortable throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe magnets are being used to display student artwork, which the children love, and the bins have helped me spend less time searching for materials and more time doing meaningful work with the kids.\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your support and generosity.

Your generosity has made a real difference for my students, and I am truly grateful for your support. The timer and radio have quickly become part of our daily routine, and they have already brought so much learning, structure, and joy into our classroom. I want to share a little about how we are using these resources and the difference they are making for our students every day.\r\n\r\nThe visual timer has been absolutely wonderful for all of my students. For children with disabilities, it provides a clear, predictable way to understand transitions and manage expectations, and even my typical learners are thriving with the visual support. My students have learned what the timer sounds mean, such as when it is time to clean up, and it has completely changed how we handle transitions. Instead of struggling or needing constant reminders, they are now able to see how much time they have left and respond independently. One student who often becomes frustrated during clean-up time now checks the timer and can calmly finish the activity without getting upset. Seeing the pride on their faces when they succeed is incredibly rewarding, and it reminds me every day why these tools are so important.\r\n\r\nThe radio has brought an entirely new energy to our classroom. We listen to CDs and tapes daily, and the Bluetooth feature allows us to play even more music from different sources. Music has become a central part of our day. Students enjoy movement breaks, singing along to songs, and exploring rhythms together. One of my favorite moments was when the entire class joined in a dance to a favorite song. The joy, laughter, and energy in the room were contagious. The radio has also allowed us to explore music as a learning tool, integrating songs into lessons to reinforce skills like counting, letter recognition, and even social-emotional learning. The students are learning to listen, follow along, and express themselves creatively, all while having fun.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided us with valuable tools but has also helped my students feel seen, supported, and excited about learning. Every day I watch them engage with the materials, learn from each other, and grow in confidence. The timer helps them manage their day, the radio brings joy and music into every lesson, and the building blocks spark creativity and teamwork. Your support has created a classroom environment where students feel safe, engaged, and valued.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this possible. Your contribution has touched our classroom in ways that go far beyond the items themselves. My students are learning, growing, and smiling every day because of your generosity, and I am so grateful that you helped make that happen!","fullyFundedDate":1744032975816,"projectUrl":"project/extra-needs-for-our-classroom/9204807/","projectTitle":"Extra needs for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kaitlynn Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9751125_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754505551522","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9751125"},{"teacherId":9751125,"projectId":9273377,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"Big Feelings, Little Learners\" project!

We plan to connect it to current classroom lessons by encouraging role play around community helpers, storytelling activities, and even incorporating literacy props like menus, signs, and mail.

This hands-on resources have transformed the way our students explore science and sensory play, and we're thrilled to share its impact with you.\r\nWe've integrated the water waterfall wall into our science and sensory exploration centers. One memorable project involved students experimenting with water flow by adjusting the wall's channels and containers to create different patterns. They worked in small groups, predicting how water would move based on their configurations, fostering critical thinking and collaboration. For instance, during a recent lesson, students designed a \"water maze\" on the wall, timing how long it took for water to travel through their unique setups. This activity sparked discussions about gravity, flow, and even basic engineering concepts!\r\nWhen we unveiled the water waterfall wall, the room erupted with gasps and squeals of delight! Students couldn't wait to get their hands on it, eagerly exploring the colorful pipes and funnels. One student exclaimed, \"It's like a water playground!\" Their excitement was contagious, and they immediately began experimenting, pouring water and watching it cascade through the channels. For many, it was their first time engaging with a tool like this, and their wide-eyed curiosity was a joy to witness.\r\nMoving forward, we're incorporating the water wall into a larger STEM unit on water systems and conservation. Students will design their own \"mini water systems\" using the wall, exploring concepts like recycling water and sustainable flow. They'll also document their findings in science journals, connecting their hands-on experiments to real-world applications. Your support has laid the foundation for these enriching experiences, and we're excited to see where their creativity and curiosity lead next!\r\nThank you again for bringing this incredible resource to our classroom.

One memorable moment was when we set up a \"Bug Exploration Station\" during science class. Students worked in small groups, observing preserved specimens like butterflies and beetles, sketching their observations, and discussing adaptations. Their excitement was palpable as they marveled at the intricate details of a spider's web structure under the magnifying glass, sparking lively debates about whether spiders or insects were \"cooler.\" This project not only deepened their understanding of entomology but also encouraged teamwork and curiosity-driven inquiry.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' reactions were pure joy—gasps and wide eyes filled the room as they unpacked the colorful posters, realistic models, and interactive insect kits.
