Because of your generosity, my students are now using music as a meaningful way to explore learning, express themselves, and connect with others. We have incorporated the new instruments into sensory-based music lessons, where students experiment with rhythm, volume, and sound to represent real-world experiences. One memorable activity involved creating the sounds of rain—students used shakers or the sensory object to model light rain, and steady showers. This activity supported listening skills, turn-taking, and emotional regulation while allowing every student to participate at their own level.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate. Many eagerly reached for the instruments, while others smiled, laughed, or became noticeably calmer as they listened to the sounds. For some students, the tools provided a new and comfortable way to engage, especially for those who benefit from hands-on and sensory learning. The instruments quickly became a favorite part of our day, helping students feel successful and included during group activities.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue building on this work by combining music with storytelling, movement, and early science lessons. Students will use instruments to create sound effects for stories, represent emotions, and explore concepts like weather and patterns. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn through rhythm, sound, and discovery. Your support has truly enriched our classroom and made learning more accessible and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1767180465356,"projectUrl":"project/rhythm-and-discovery-music-tools-for-sp/9959629/","projectTitle":"Rhythm and Discovery: Music Tools for Special Needs Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. MAE CABARLES","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249352_orig.jpg?crop=1214,1214,x0,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757393755950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249352"},{"teacherId":10249352,"projectId":9751118,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting STEM-ulating AAC Voices for Inclusive Learning as a New Educator! Because of your generosity, my students now have access to iPads that are transforming how they learn, communicate, and participate in the classroom. While many people use technology at home for entertainment or convenience, in our classroom these iPads serve as powerful learning tools—especially for students who rely on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The devices help students express their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in STEM activities in ways that were not previously possible, giving them a stronger voice in their own learning.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the independence and confidence the iPads provide. With interactive apps, visual supports, and AAC tools all in one place, students are eager to explore, problem-solve, and collaborate with peers. Lessons that once felt out of reach are now hands-on and accessible, and students are more motivated to participate because the technology meets them where they are. The joy on their faces when they successfully communicate an idea or complete a STEM challenge using their iPad has been incredibly rewarding to witness.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially thrived with this new technology, particularly those who struggle with verbal communication. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now actively sharing ideas, making choices, and showing curiosity during lessons. As a new educator, seeing my students grow in confidence and connection because of your support has been truly inspiring.

Many of our donors use technology daily, but in the classroom learning can't happen unless students' basic needs are met first. By providing calming supports alongside nourishing snacks, this project helps students regulate their emotions and bodies so they can fully engage with academic tasks, technology-based learning, and collaborative activities. When students aren't distracted by hunger or stress, they are better able to concentrate, problem-solve, and participate confidently.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been knowing they have access to familiar, comforting snacks like Nutella & GO!, Welch's Fruit Snacks, and Mott's Fruit Snacks when they need them. These small moments of comfort make a big difference. Students see the snack station as a safe, supportive part of our classroom routine, which helps de-escalate big emotions and creates a more peaceful learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nSome students, especially those who struggle with anxiety, attention, or emotional regulation, have shown incredible growth since this project was implemented. I've seen students who once shut down or became easily overwhelmed now use snack breaks as a reset, returning to lessons calmer and more focused. Your support has helped create a classroom where students feel cared for, secure, and ready to learn—and that impact is felt every single day.
