The items came in and the students, likewise myself were very grateful and excited. The items from \"Shine the Light to Learning\" has been a huge help in enhancing our curriculum and learning. The students used the blocks to build structures and create their names. They also used the blocks on the light table to see from a different perspective. The pattern blocks with shapes were used as the students learned about AB, AAB and ABC patterns. The trays helped with organizing and separating the pieces. The students are encouraged to take care of the items and use them appropriately.","fullyFundedDate":1762265267739,"projectUrl":"project/shine-the-light-on-learning/9735805/","projectTitle":"Shine the Light on Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Traill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9079937_orig.jpg?crop=1056,1056,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690407577222","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079937"},{"teacherId":3157208,"projectId":9812607,"letterContent":"We have had such an exciting season, diving into learning vocabulary using our sensory boxes. You might not have expected my students to become obsessed with 'acorns' and 'gingerbread' people as their new favorite vocabulary words of the week but yet they were. By making vocabulary hands on it has opened up a brand new world for them. I cannot wait to continue to present them with more sensory learning opportunities as the year progresses and we hit the next season or theme set you have provided for them.

Being able to implement speedy speech is allowing my students to make quicker progress while missing less class time. They've actually asked to borrow the books themselves to continue to practice as they see themselves how much progress they are making.

The impact of being able to make those connections is beyond what you can imagine. Seeing the faces of my students as they realize they have a word and can actually say it is priceless.

Your kindness has truly enriched our therapy environment and allowed me to provide more creative and motivating activities for every child I work with.\r\n\r\nMy kindergarten through fifth-grade students have already benefited greatly from these materials. The new tools have encouraged them to participate more, use more expressive language, and increase their overall speech production in ways that feel fun and natural.

It has been amazing to watch their interactive play skills grow. Just yesterday, I had a student walk up and hand me an animal to 'trade' for a new one to share for the first time instead of trying to snatch a desired item without communicating with anyone. This is such an exciting period of growth in the lives of my students! \r\n\r\nThank you, thank you, thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1762267457680,"projectUrl":"project/planting-the-seeds-to-harvest-a-strong-e/9807396/","projectTitle":"Planting the Seeds to Harvest a Strong Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emel M.A. CCC-SLP","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3157208_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524015538074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lora-emel"},{"teacherId":3157208,"projectId":9667227,"letterContent":"I wish it was possible for you to understand the difference having accessible resources, that every child enjoy, available in your classroom.

Ironically, as students see the new Spanish print editions we have English only speakers jealous of the options in the Spanish collection.

These materials that were receive through this project have been a game changer in therapy for several of my students. \r\n\r\nI primarily use them with a classroom dedicated to students with Autism. They have loved these stories. They get excited each week to participate in language therapy and see the familiar characters of Matt and Molly each week. I think by far their favorite part has been getting to act out the stories week tackle each week. Their reactions, expressions of emotions, and understanding on language concepts through these hands on stories have been priceless! I also use these stories with my general education students as well, some of my friends who have a harder time with comprehension have also been so successful with these materials! \r\n\r\nMy favorite part is that it saves so much time which can be invaluable as an educator. The lessons and visuals are done for you in such a clear and concise manner. As a therapist it allows me to tackle so many targets such as comprehension with WH questions and story retell, higher order thinking questions, vocabulary, and active listening all with in one lesson.
