For younger students who previously showed reluctance to participate in academic activities, the introduction of light boxes has proved to be a powerful motivator. These students are now fully engaged in foundational skills such as counting, number sense, alphabet recognition, and creating simple words.\r\nAdditionally, the light boxes offer a highly interactive platform for tactile and sensory activities. For example, writing letters and numbers in sand placed over the light source provides an excellent tactile and sensory experience, making the learning process both enjoyable and memorable for early learners.\r\nOlder students are also benefiting greatly from this technology. They are utilizing the light boxes to explore geometry with various geometric shapes, as well as participating in advanced science lessons by examining x-rays of animals. This visual and interactive approach brings abstract concepts to life and fosters a deeper curiosity and understanding.\r\nThank you so much for supporting this project! My students and I are incredibly grateful for your generosity.

I work with more than 750 students, so protecting their personal information is extremely important to me.\r\n\r\nHaving access to a shredder will allow me to securely dispose of documents that contain private student information, such as identifying information, records, forms, and other materials that should not be placed in regular recycling or trash. The documents will be shredded into small, unreadable pieces, making it significantly more difficult for anyone to reconstruct or access the information.\r\n\r\nThis will help ensure that confidential student information is properly destroyed once it is no longer needed and reduce the risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands or being used by scammers. I truly appreciate your assistance in providing this resource and helping me maintain a secure and confidential environment for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1778860296227,"projectUrl":"project/art-in-action-sticking-creativity-to-th/10215779/","projectTitle":"Art in Action: Sticking Creativity to the Walls","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2158697_orig.jpg?crop=397,397,x0,y54&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643489359854","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2158697"},{"teacherId":5934198,"projectId":10219675,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to support me, my students, and our classroom.

Several students have come to my office to calm down when they are emotionally dysregulated or in crisis. During these tough moments students have used legos, books, and toys to help soothe themselves as well as talk about big feelings and problems. \r\n\r\nMany students struggling to develop strong social skills and conflict resolution skills have found the puppets to be a fun way to role play and explore possible scenarios and outcomes when faced with difficult situations. Overall, students have been incredibly receptive to utilizing new toys, tools and books to share and learn about their emotions and the emotions of others.
