These items reduce classroom disruptions, strengthen social skills, and give children safe, developmentally appropriate ways to manage big feelings so teachers can spend more time teaching and less time redirecting.\r\n\r\nYour gift isn't just a donation — it's an investment in tiny learners who are still discovering how to navigate the world. You've given them comfort, connection, and opportunities to succeed every single day. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1758571679986,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-find-their-calm-and-spa/9388177/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Find Their Calm and Spark Their Curiosity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5308342_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748873529039","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/step8"},{"teacherId":9518384,"projectId":9438396,"letterContent":"Thanks to the amazing support from DonorsChoose and our donors, our classroom has been completely changed by the Cricut Maker. We've only had it a short time, but it's already become one of the most useful tools in our Early Childhood Special Education room.\r\n\r\nWe've been able to make so many things we simply couldn't before including magnetic manipulatives, felt-board pieces, themed learning activities, visual supports, labels, and so much more. Being able to create materials that fit our students' exact needs has made a huge difference. If a student needs a specific visual or a hands-on activity to help them stay engaged, I can now make it quickly and customize it just for them.\r\n\r\nThe kids are loving the new materials, and we've seen a big boost in participation and excitement during activities. Having bright, personalized visuals and manipulatives helps our students stay focused and gives them more opportunities to succeed. It's been such a game-changer for our routine and the overall feel of our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for everyone who donated to this project. Your support has helped us create a more engaging, supportive, and fun learning environment for our students.

By playing in the new sand table my students have developed new language and motor skills. The sand play has encouraged experimentation and problem solving, also. All students have benefitted from the sensory experience of letting the sand slip through their fingers, and rubbing their hands through the sand. Occasionally, they have even experienced the sense of taste. Yuck! They are three years old, after all. Basically the students are just having loads of fun with the new sand table and toys.","fullyFundedDate":1733245804688,"projectUrl":"project/digging-up-fun/8608252/","projectTitle":"Digging Up Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Keaton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5898718_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537749514105","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5898718"},{"teacherId":5308342,"projectId":8996802,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to our class to receive a printer. Printers in our preschool classroom create tangible learning experiences that bridge digital and physical worlds. They see their work come to life, building confidence when their digital creations become physical objects they can hold and share. \r\n\r\nOur preschoolers are most excited about seeing their artwork transformed from screen to paper instantly. They're fascinated by watching the printing process and take immense pride in sharing printed versions of their digital creations with parents and classmates.","fullyFundedDate":1733851964023,"projectUrl":"project/printer-for-the-littles/8996802/","projectTitle":"Printer for the Littles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5308342_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748873529039","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/step8"},{"teacherId":9518384,"projectId":8585397,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your generosity! Because of your support, our classroom now has access to technology that is making a huge difference for our students. These tools are helping us create personalized learning experiences that keep students engaged, motivated, and excited to learn every day.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest benefits of having a laptop, printer, and touchscreen computer in our classroom is the ability to quickly and easily modify learning activities to meet each student's needs. Every child learns differently, and now, instead of using one-size-fits-all materials, we can adapt activities in the moment. Whether it's adjusting the size of text for students who need larger print, adding visual supports, or creating hands-on activities that match their specific interests, this technology allows us to provide the right level of support for every learner.\r\n\r\nPersonalization has been a game changer. Students are much more excited to participate when their learning materials reflect their own interests. For example, if a student loves dinosaurs, we can instantly print out a dinosaur-themed name tracing sheet or math activity. If another student is passionate about cars, we can quickly create a matching game featuring different vehicles. This level of customization makes learning feel more fun and meaningful, which leads to better engagement and motivation.\r\n\r\nThe touchscreen computer has also been a huge hit! Many of our students are still developing fine motor skills, which can make using a traditional keyboard and mouse frustrating. The touchscreen allows them to engage with educational programs more easily, helping them build independence and confidence. They love that they can work on a computer just like their peers, without feeling left behind because of motor skill challenges.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made all of this possible. Because of you, our students have access to engaging, personalized learning experiences that meet them where they are and help them grow. Thank you for believing in our classroom and supporting our students' success!","fullyFundedDate":1733282370600,"projectUrl":"project/printer-and-pc-for-pre-schoolers/8585397/","projectTitle":"Printer and PC for Pre-Schoolers!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mel McNeill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9518384_orig.jpg?crop=697,697,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723182267698","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9518384"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34808","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":110,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":64,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.9,"schoolId":34808,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clearview Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clearview Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/martinsville-city-public-school-district/clearview-early-childhood-ctr/34808"}
