Your gift has sparked a new level of energy and motivation in my students!\r\n\r\nThe star charts have become a central part of our daily routine; the children are now enthusiastically \"competing\" with themselves to do better each day. It is a joy to watch them take pride in monitoring their own progress. The impact on their independence has also been immediate. With the tools you provided, the students now manage their own supplies, like sharpening their own pencils, which builds their confidence and keeps us focused on learning.\r\n\r\nThe markers are used daily for writing, spelling, and math, but the books have had the most profound impact. They have captured the imaginations of both my verbal and non-verbal students. It is incredible to see my non-verbal learners encouraged to use their voices while pointing at the pictures; these stories are truly helping them find their way to communicate.\r\n\r\nYou are not just providing supplies; you are helping my kids become confident readers and communicators.

A specific moment that stands out: during a small‑group exploration, students worked with textured materials to observe how different items felt, moved, and reacted when handled. Seeing the new kits on the table, the students' faces lit up — they were genuinely excited to use the materials and immediately began asking to use them.\r\n\r\nNext steps: we will build on that excitement by exploring the properties of matter. Students will design experiments to observe different types of physical changes in objects (for example, mixing, bending, or pulling) and record their observations. These experiments will help them connect sensory experiences to scientific concepts and develop skills in prediction and observation.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make these learning moments possible.","fullyFundedDate":1766461900129,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-activities-for-ads-students/9666391/","projectTitle":"Sensory Activities for Ads Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10233794"},{"teacherId":1734979,"projectId":8768775,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for your generous donation to our classroom project to help get us organized.\r\n Having the tools on hand so that we can have different folders for each subject, along with sheet protectors has made a huge difference in the classroom!

In our class of varying exceptionalities, reading is more than a lesson—it's a vital tool for emotional regulation and a source of immense joy. I love getting creative with character voices to keep them engaged, and seeing them all listen so intently makes me so proud. \r\nFor children in ESE, the world can sometimes feel like it's turned up to a volume that is hard to manage. But during these stories, the 'noise' fades away. Whether they are navigating autism, processing delays, or sensory sensitivities, your support allows them to practice social cues and emotional language in a way that feels like play rather than work. You are helping us prove that 'different' is not a barrier to connection; it's just a different way of experiencing the magic of a story.\r\nWe are deeply grateful to our donors for supporting our journey and these beautiful moments of growth.","fullyFundedDate":1768359022174,"projectUrl":"project/books-materials/10010062/","projectTitle":"Books Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villanueva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9869478_orig.jpg?crop=1320,1320,x0,y149&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769118854701","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-cutevillanueva"},{"teacherId":9434938,"projectId":9885324,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed into a space where STEM learning is active, accessible, and full of possibility. The iPad Pro, stylus, and keyboard have opened doors for my students—many of whom are autistic—to learn in ways that match their strengths. They're using coding apps to build simple programs, sketching scientific diagrams with precision, and researching topics that spark their curiosity. Tools that many people use casually at home have become powerful learning engines in our classroom, helping students visualize concepts, practice fine motor skills, and express their ideas with confidence.\r\n\r\nThe excitement around this technology has been incredible. Students are especially drawn to the stylus and design apps, where they can create blueprints, digital art, and labeled diagrams that bring their thinking to life. One student who typically hesitates to write has become fully engaged when using the keyboard—typing out reflections, coding commands, and even helping classmates troubleshoot. Another student who loves patterns has taken to exploring coding puzzles, proudly showing off each new level he completes. These moments remind me how deeply students thrive when given tools that honor their ways of learning.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide devices—it provided access, independence, and joy. You helped create a classroom where students don't just learn about STEM; they do STEM. Thank you for believing in their potential and for putting innovation directly into their hands.","fullyFundedDate":1763554296878,"projectUrl":"project/swipe-tap-innovate-stem-in-their-hand/9885324/","projectTitle":"Swipe, Tap, Innovate: STEM in Their Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Judy Tanio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9434938_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754079691905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-tanio"},{"teacherId":9434938,"projectId":9557697,"letterContent":"When our students first walked in and saw the wobble cushions, seat sacks, and mobile easel, their faces lit up with a mix of excitement and relief—as if the room finally matched the way they learn and move. The wobble cushions quickly became a favorite; students now choose the one that helps them focus best during reading groups or math rotations. One of my students, who often struggled to stay seated, proudly told me, \"This helps my body listen.\" Moments like that remind me how powerful the right tools can be.\r\n\r\nWe're already using the seat sacks to build independence during our writing block. Students keep their journals, visual supports, and personal tools right behind their chairs, and the difference has been immediate. Instead of waiting for materials or feeling overwhelmed by transitions, they're grabbing what they need and getting started with confidence. The mobile easel has transformed our whole-group lessons—now I can bring visual models right to small groups, making instruction more accessible and interactive for every learner.\r\n\r\nAs we move into our next unit on informational writing, these resources will continue to shape how students engage with the work. They'll use the easel for shared anchor charts, the seat sacks to organize research materials, and the wobble cushions to support focus during longer writing sessions. Your generosity didn't just provide supplies—it created a learning environment where every child feels supported, capable, and ready to grow. Thank you for making this transformation possible.","fullyFundedDate":1763554718662,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-tools-for-focused-minds-and-gro/9557697/","projectTitle":"Flexible Tools for Focused Minds and Growing Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Judy Tanio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9434938_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754079691905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-tanio"},{"teacherId":9434938,"projectId":9531053,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has become a more inclusive, expressive, and empowering space for my students with autism in grades 3–5. The headphones with built-in microphones and our new classroom printer have transformed how these vibrant learners engage with their education—and with each other.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have made a noticeable difference in helping students manage sensory input. For many of my students, the classroom can feel overwhelming. With the headphones, they're able to create a focused audio environment that helps them tune in to lessons and tune out distractions. The built-in microphones have opened up new possibilities for communication. Verbal expression can be challenging for some students, but with speech-to-text tools and voice recordings, they now have a way to share their thoughts at their own pace. One student who used to shy away from speaking now records daily reflections and participates in class discussions with growing confidence. Another has begun narrating her artwork, combining visual and verbal storytelling in a way that feels safe and joyful.\r\n\r\nThe classroom printer has become a celebration station. Students beam with pride when they see their digital creations come to life on paper. Whether it's a poem typed with support, a colorful chart designed during science, or a story crafted through voice-to-text, printing their work gives them a tangible sense of ownership. One student, who previously avoided writing tasks, now eagerly prints his work and shares it with peers and staff. His confidence has grown, and he's beginning to see himself as a capable communicator. Another student printed a chart she created about her favorite animals and taped it to her desk—her way of saying, \"This is mine, and I'm proud of it.\"\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the independence these tools provide. They're able to take initiative, make choices, and showcase their strengths. The headphones and microphones give them control over how they communicate, while the printer allows them to celebrate their work in a concrete, visible way. These small shifts have led to big changes in self-esteem, classroom participation, and peer connection.\r\n\r\nThis project has done more than enhance learning—it's helped my students feel seen, heard, and valued. You've given them tools that honor their voices and support their growth. You've helped create a classroom where neurodiverse learners can thrive, not just academically, but emotionally and socially. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and I'm deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the power of inclusive education. You've helped us build a classroom where brave minds can speak up, print out their ideas, and share who they are with the world.","fullyFundedDate":1758972462364,"projectUrl":"project/tech-tools-brave-minds/9531053/","projectTitle":"Tech Tools, Brave Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Judy Tanio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9434938_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754079691905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-tanio"},{"teacherId":9434938,"projectId":9528258,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has transformed into a vibrant, hands-on learning sanctuary where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired. The moment our new materials arrived, manipulatives, board games, sensory tools, my students lit up with joy and curiosity. One child immediately gravitated toward the magnetic blocks, building intricate designs and narrating stories as he worked. Another found calm with a sensory toy, using it to self-regulate during transitions. These tools aren't just supplies, they're bridges to connection, creativity, and emotional growth.\r\n\r\nWe've already launched a collaborative storytelling project using the new board games and manipulatives. Students pair up to build scenes and characters, then take turns narrating their adventures especially as they create different objects with the use of Play Dohs and kinetic sands, practicing communication, empathy, and imagination. The games have sparked spontaneous friendships and laughter, especially during our Friday \"Choice Time,\" where students select tools that help them express themselves. Next, we're diving into a social-emotional learning unit focused on identifying emotions and building peer connections. With your help, our classroom is not only more inclusive—it's more joyful, more expressive, and more alive.","fullyFundedDate":1755652047600,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-hearts-and-minds/9528258/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning for Hearts and Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Judy Tanio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9434938_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754079691905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-tanio"},{"teacherId":9451708,"projectId":9088818,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire school community, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our Sensory Room project.
