Having specially lined paper helps my students with dysgraphia learn how to write letters correctly and more legibly. Not only did we get needed materials for students who struggle with writing, but they also have the benefit of snacking during our lessons. The difference in children who are hungry as opposed to cheerfully snacking is huge. They are not only more focused, they are happy! The fidget toys help with the stress that children experience when reading and writing is so difficult. They are able to get out the \"wiggles\" while fully participating in intervention lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1761156562955,"projectUrl":"project/getting-the-year-started-with-purpose/9747109/","projectTitle":"Getting the Year Started With Purpose!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9701517_orig.png?crop=626,625,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724430046440","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9701517"},{"teacherId":6556576,"projectId":9874205,"letterContent":"We are grateful for the donation!
