One of my students screamed out the different colors that were flashing on the table. It was a joyful moment because this particular student of mine has speech impairment. \r\nThis tool has helped us sort objects by color, shape, size, enhancing turntaking and cognitive skills.\r\nOur next step is matching letters and filling in missing letters on the table.","fullyFundedDate":1739571331613,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-our-classroom/8975218/","projectTitle":"Light Up Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oshinubi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9812361_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y662&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732774056383","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9812361"},{"teacherId":8427237,"projectId":8993737,"letterContent":"Your generosity has been so appreciated.
