The items are used daily. The sensory items are picked out by them to use on their daily work or tests. All of my students are familiar with my caddy that has all of the personal hygiene items in it plus items like hair ties, brush/comb, chapstick,... and they use it as needed. The shelving allows me to better organize my puzzles, games, and sensory items. The puzzles and games are for students who are caught up with their work, as a reward. My students absolutely love the items! Your kindness means more to me than you will ever know.","fullyFundedDate":1786147584312,"projectUrl":"project/student-necessities/10262021/","projectTitle":"Student Necessities!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rozumalski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8724319"},{"teacherId":5777527,"projectId":10566540,"letterContent":"Thanks to the incredible generosity of our DonorsChoose supporters, our Life Skills classroom has become an even more engaging, creative, and hands-on learning environment! The addition of a toaster oven has opened the door to exciting craft projects that allow my students to develop essential life skills while having fun and expressing their creativity.\r\n\r\nFor my middle school students, especially those who benefit from hands-on learning experiences, this project provides opportunities to practice following multi-step directions, patience, problem-solving, responsibility, and teamwork. Through activities such as creating Shrinky Dink crafts and polymer clay projects, students can experience the satisfaction of transforming simple materials into something they have made themselves.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this project especially meaningful is that the learning extends far beyond crafting. Students practice planning ahead, adapting when things don't go as expected, managing frustration, and celebrating their accomplishments. They also learn important lessons about safety, organization, and respecting shared materials and equipment.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the greatest impact is the opportunity for students of all abilities to experience success. These creative activities build confidence, encourage independence, and give students a sense of pride and ownership in their work.\r\n\r\nThis toaster oven is so much more than a classroom appliance—it is a tool for creativity, confidence, independence, and meaningful learning.

The rugs, pillows, and soft lighting have given students an alternative to sitting at a traditional desk and have helped make our classroom feel welcoming, comfortable, and safe. Students use the cozy corner during independent reading, small-group activities, partner work, and when they simply need a quieter place to focus. For many of my special education students, having choices about where and how they work can make a huge difference in their ability to stay engaged and be successful.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things about this project is seeing students actually choose the cozy corner when it is time to read. Students who may normally be reluctant to pick up a book are much more willing to settle in with a pillow and read when it feels less like an assignment and more like something they can enjoy. The space has also been especially helpful for students who become distracted or overwhelmed in a traditional classroom setting and benefit from a calmer environment. Years later, these materials continue to be used every single day by new groups of students. Your donation didn't just help us decorate a classroom; it helped us create a place where students can feel comfortable, focus, read, learn, and be successful.

As a special education teacher, one of my biggest goals is to help students become stronger readers while also helping them discover that reading can actually be enjoyable. We have used these books to work on important reading skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, sequencing, character development, making predictions, identifying theme, and using evidence from the text. The illustrated editions have been especially valuable because the pictures provide additional support for students who struggle with comprehension and help bring the story to life. Reading in our classroom is very interactive—we read together, stop to discuss important events, make connections, ask questions, and complete activities that allow students to show their understanding in different ways.\r\n\r\nThree years later, these books are still being used and loved, which is probably the best way I can describe the success of this project. Some of my most reluctant readers have become the students who are most excited to continue to the next chapter. For students who have struggled with reading for years, being able to successfully read and understand a novel like *Harry Potter* gives them an incredible sense of accomplishment. The illustrations make the books feel more approachable, while the story keeps them engaged and wanting to know what happens next. It is wonderful to see students discussing characters, predicting events, laughing at parts of the story, and genuinely looking forward to reading. Your generosity did much more than provide books for one group of students—it created a resource that continues to reach new students year after year and helps them build both their reading skills and their confidence as readers.
