While our district is supportive and provides many of our essential classroom needs, there are times when we need a little extra help to give our students the best possible learning experience. Your support has made that possible.\r\n\r\nOur class is made up of wonderful 3–5-year-olds with a wide range of abilities, and we work on fine motor skills every single day. Cutting is an important part of early childhood development—it strengthens hand muscles, improves hand-eye coordination, and prepares children for more complex tasks as they grow.\r\n\r\nThe adaptive scissors provided through this project have given my students more opportunities to practice these skills in a way that meets their individual needs. With tools designed for their hands and abilities, they are cutting with greater confidence, independence, and success. We have seen students who once struggled now participating with excitement and pride.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped create meaningful, hands-on learning moments that support their early development and build foundational skills for the future. Thank you for giving my students the chance to grow stronger, braver, and more capable every day.","fullyFundedDate":1705552434438,"projectUrl":"project/lets-practice-our-cutting/8118303/","projectTitle":"Let's Practice Our Cutting!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Petersen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8718611_orig.jpg?crop=1907,1908,x0,y470&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745253369707","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8718611"},{"teacherId":8718611,"projectId":9260754,"letterContent":"This project has made a tremendous difference in our classroom. Every child deserves the chance to succeed, grow, and feel confident in their abilities—and thanks to your support, our students now have the tools they need to do just that.\r\n\r\nOur young learners with special needs face daily challenges in fine motor development and adaptive skills. The specialized materials you helped provide—such as easy-hold adaptive aides, egg crayons, tabletop scissors, tweezers, buddy builders, and scooping tools—have opened new pathways for them to participate, create, and explore with greater independence.\r\n\r\nWith these tools, students are building hand strength, coordination, and confidence through activities that are fun and engaging. We've already seen them showing more persistence, improved control, and a sense of pride when they accomplish tasks that once felt difficult.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more inclusive, supportive learning environment where every child can thrive—one small movement at a time.
