Your funding has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and in the daily experiences of our students.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO materials have become a powerful tool for learning and growth. Through structured and collaborative activities, students are developing critical skills such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and perseverance. Many students who struggle with traditional academic tasks have found success and confidence through hands-on building, following directions, and completing projects from start to finish.\r\n\r\nBeyond skill development, the impact on student engagement has been remarkable. Students show increased motivation, pride in their work, and a willingness to take on challenges. The LEGO activities have also supported social interaction and self-regulation, helping students practice cooperation and manage frustration in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of your investment, our students are not only learning academic and functional skills—they are building confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment that extends beyond the classroom. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to supporting innovative learning opportunities for students with disabilities.","fullyFundedDate":1769177761875,"projectUrl":"project/think-tinker-thrive-stem-for-all/9781627/","projectTitle":"Think, Tinker, Thrive: STEM for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Erickson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10175356_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755632807479","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10175356"},{"teacherId":8972591,"projectId":9628795,"letterContent":"Receiving supplies for our intellectual disabilities classroom has had a transformative impact on our students' work-based learning experience. The addition of a copier, shredder, and industrial vacuum has allowed us to create authentic, hands-on opportunities for students to develop and master practical job skills that align with real-world employment settings.\r\nStudents have learned to operate the copier to produce instructional materials for teaching staff, simulating secretarial and office tasks. They have also practiced shredding sensitive documents, reinforcing confidentiality procedures common in administrative roles. These activities not only teach technical skills but also foster independence, responsibility, and attention to detail.\r\nIn addition, the industrial vacuum has enabled students to practice cleaning and maintenance tasks similar to those required in hospitality and facility management positions. They have learned to independently clean doormats, main floors, and other workplace surfaces, building confidence in their ability to perform tasks expected in hotel or custodial roles.\r\nThis funding has provided our students with meaningful, real-world experiences that prepare them for future employment and empower them to contribute to their communities. We are deeply grateful for the support that makes these opportunities possible.","fullyFundedDate":1759266558143,"projectUrl":"project/project-independence-pathways-to-employ/9628795/","projectTitle":"Project Independence: Pathways to Employment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fuchs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8972591_orig.jpg?crop=745,745,x165,y975&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755660958862","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8972591"},{"teacherId":9705070,"projectId":9723088,"letterContent":"Saying thank you is not enough to explain the gratitude that I have for this donation.

This created a significant gap, threatening their ability to showcase their full scope of work, growth, and process.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, that challenge is now history! We have received the two new iPads, and they are instantly becoming the core tools for digital portfolio creation and critical reflection.\r\n\r\n\r\nYou haven't just provided technology; you have provided our students with their future voice.

Your recent donation has made a tangible and immediate difference in our self-contained special education classroom by providing our students with new, flexible seating options.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, movement is not a distraction but a vital tool for learning and focusing. The traditional chairs in our classroom often made it difficult for them to stay engaged. Thanks to you, we were able to purchase a variety of seating, including rocking chairs, bouncing balls, and other dynamic options, that allow for gentle, supportive movement throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe impact began even before the seats were in place. Our students took great pride in practicing their direction-following skills as they helped assemble the new furniture. This hands-on experience gave them a personal connection to the project. Once built, they spent time exploring each option until they found the one that best suited their needs, with some even choosing to switch their seat style daily.\r\n\r\nThe immediate benefits were remarkable. We've seen students who often needed to take walk breaks outside the room now able to extend their time on a task. Their rocking or bouncing has become a quiet, effective way to regulate their focus and energy, allowing them to remain engaged and present during class instruction. This flexible movement has not only helped them stay in the room but has also allowed them to participate more fully in their own learning.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our students has truly empowered them, providing a resource that directly supports their academic success and well-being.
