As a special education teacher working with kindergarten and first-grade students, I see every day how important it is to make learning hands-on, engaging, and accessible. Thanks to your generous support, my students now have the tools they need to participate more fully in lessons, explore new ideas, and build skills in ways that feel fun and meaningful to them.\r\n\r\nThe small whiteboards have quickly become a classroom favorite. The set of 12 means every child has a board to practice writing, solving math problems, and drawing to show their thinking. Students love the chance to hold up their answers, and even those who sometimes hesitate to participate feel more confident when they can erase and try again. I'll never forget the day one of my students proudly wrote his name on his whiteboard for the very first time—his smile said it all, and his classmates clapped to celebrate his achievement.\r\n\r\nThe phonics and word-building manipulatives from Lakeshore, along with the Torlam Elkonin boxes and letter crayon center, have transformed our literacy lessons. My students are building words, matching sounds, and physically moving pieces to better understand reading. The Biscuit book set has also been a wonderful addition—my students love following Biscuit's adventures, and we often use the stories as a springboard for retelling and sequencing activities.\r\n\r\nIn math, manipulatives like counting cubes and fidgets from the 1,000+ sensory toy pack keep students engaged while reinforcing number concepts. The variety of textures and activities also helps my students with sensory needs stay calm and focused, especially during transitions.\r\n\r\nSnacks have been another highlight. The Healthy Snack Bars gift pack, Welch's fruit snacks, and Nabisco variety packs have kept my students energized and ready to learn. But beyond filling hungry bellies, we've used the snacks as teaching tools. Students have sorted, counted, and graphed their favorites, turning snack time into a fun math lesson everyone looks forward to.\r\n\r\nFor social-emotional learning, the \"How Do You Feel?\" chart, behavior cards, daily routine cards, and ASL feelings cards have given my students powerful ways to communicate. Many of them struggle to express emotions verbally, but now they can point to a card or symbol that matches how they feel. The Free Spirit self-regulation book set has been a wonderful companion resource, helping us read and talk about big feelings. It's been amazing to watch students begin to identify and manage their emotions while showing empathy toward their classmates.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using these resources for small group projects where students build words with manipulatives, read together, and solve math problems in hands-on ways. The materials you helped provide are not only supporting academic growth but also building confidence, independence, and joy in learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of my students. Every smile, every proud \"I did it!\" moment, and every breakthrough we celebrate is possible because of your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1755738453804,"projectUrl":"project/every-voice-counts-tools-to-help-all-le/9425183/","projectTitle":"Every Voice Counts: Tools to Help All Learners Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vergel de Dios","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10060499_orig.jpg?crop=2688,2688,x0,y448&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750437099946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10060499"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61822","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":388,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":30,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":54.2,"schoolId":61822,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Jefferson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/winslow-unified-school-district-1/jefferson-elementary-school/61822"}
