I can't even begin to imagine the impact these simple devices will have in my room but I am excited. \r\n\r\nThe gift of books will always be a blessing. A large part of my class is still learning to read and the opportunity to have fun, new books can be just what they need to get over the hump.","fullyFundedDate":1761715404774,"projectUrl":"project/ears-eyes-and-hands/9727728/","projectTitle":"Ears, Eyes and Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Deale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5805353_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1544644082203","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/deale"},{"teacherId":9214435,"projectId":9129318,"letterContent":"Seeing my students take ownership of our classroom by cleaning has been amazing. They are proud to use the broom, wipes, and vacuum to keep our shared space tidy, and it has helped them learn responsibility in a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThe games have quickly become a classroom favorite. Students love playing together and practicing important skills like patience, communication, and teamwork. The watercolor paper has also been put to good use as students explore their creativity during art time.\r\n\r\nOne of my students, who is especially interested in birds, has been so excited about the National Geographic science books. They have been a great resource for building science vocabulary, especially for my language learners.\r\n\r\nThese materials have already made a noticeable difference in our classroom. They support my students' social-emotional growth, give them new ways to explore their interests, and help us maintain a safe and welcoming environment.

The variety of colors and the chance to be more like a professional artist will be invaluable.\r\n\r\nI love sharing new opportunities with my students. Every time I get a chance to provide them with a new tool, they are excited. This year we will be doing more art to connect with Social and Emotional Learning, so giving them fancy art markers will bridge the gap between the two.","fullyFundedDate":1754110238337,"projectUrl":"project/magic-art/9447886/","projectTitle":"Magic Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Deale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5805353_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1544644082203","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/deale"},{"teacherId":9214435,"projectId":8523663,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my classroom!

Moving beyond phonics, my students are now diving into meaningful stories that spark rich discussions and help them connect with each other and the bigger world around them.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom has become a shared experience through book clubs, where students practice critical thinking, empathy, and communication skills. I've seen many students, especially those who were reluctant readers, become excited about choosing books and sharing their ideas with peers.\r\n\r\nLeonard (My Life as a Cat) quickly became a favorite in our classroom. Students connected with Leonard's humorous and heartfelt perspective, which helped spark conversations about empathy and understanding different points of view. Several kids who usually shy away from reading were drawn to Leonard's story because it's both funny and relatable. This book has been a great bridge to help more students engage with reading and enjoy sharing their thoughts during book clubs.\r\n\r\nThanks to these books, my students are building a strong foundation for a lifelong love of reading!","fullyFundedDate":1740087981287,"projectUrl":"project/book-club-books/9023127/","projectTitle":"Book Club Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kwiecinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rylee-kwiecinski"},{"teacherId":5805353,"projectId":9235065,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my project.

They are always shocked that a person they don't know, would donate so they could have new things.\r\n\r\nThese students don't have the newest books and art supplies, so anytime we get new things, they are happy. As their teacher, I love seeing their faces each time I pull out a book or other item from the shipping box. The oohs and ahhs are fun to here. Then the \"can I have it\" starts.

When I told them that someone they didn't know donated money to help us buy these new tools, they couldn't believe it. \r\n\r\nThese new sensory tools already have had a positive impact on students that would typically not received sensory tools.
