These donations have made it possible to create an environment where learning feels like play, and where every session becomes a moment of discovery and excitement.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, I could hardly wait to introduce them to my students. The moment they walked into the room and saw all the bright, colorful games, toys, and tools, their eyes lit up with pure excitement. I still remember their reactions — several of them gasped and smiled, while others shouted with joy and rushed over to explore everything. It was such a wonderful, heartwarming moment. They immediately wanted to begin their session and try out every new activity. What could have been an ordinary therapy day suddenly turned into an adventure full of laughter, curiosity, and motivation.","fullyFundedDate":1758851142978,"projectUrl":"project/speech-class/9581021/","projectTitle":"Speech Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9641104_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723215476876","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9641104"},{"teacherId":2769490,"projectId":8985255,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom.
