They have the tools to explore their curiosity in meaningful ways every day. They are able to use the iPad to interact with learning activities that meet them where they are, draw, and record their voices. This has been especially powerful for students who are still developing fine motor and language skills by providing ways to help them express their thinking and build greater confidence. \r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives have made a huge difference in how students understand and engage with math concepts. Instead of just hearing about numbers and shapes, they are actively exploring, building and problem-solving. Their eyes light up with excitement as they discover solutions and share what they know.\r\n\r\nOur classroom has also grown stronger. The teacher chair has created a welcoming space where students feel safe, connected and eager to participate. The treasure box supplies have encouraged positive behavior, perseverance, and a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Because of your kindness, my students are not only building foundational academic skills, but also developing independence, confidence, and a true love of learning. Thank you for making a meaningful and lasting difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1768574919842,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-tiny-learners-a-kindergarten/10011463/","projectTitle":"Tools for Tiny Learners: A Kindergarten Classroom in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Iafeta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9368791_orig.jpg?crop=1131,1131,x0,y116&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715105453634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/iafeta"},{"teacherId":7550869,"projectId":9990592,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our class is able to complete tasks and projects because we have the supplies we need.

Your kindness and support have made a meaningful difference in the daily learning experiences of our students, and I am deeply thankful for your commitment to helping children with disabilities succeed.\r\nThe real-life kitchen materials, dishes, vegetables, and additional items you donated have been invaluable tools in our therapy sessions. These hands-on, functional materials allow our students to engage in meaningful, purposeful activities that closely resemble real-world tasks. Because of your generosity, our students are able to practice essential life skills in a safe, supportive, and motivating environment.\r\nThe donated supplies play a critical role in helping our students develop and strengthen fine motor skills, gross motor skills, activities of daily living (ADLs), and motor planning abilities. Tasks such as grasping utensils, washing dishes, preparing pretend meals, carrying items, and organizing materials provide natural opportunities for skill-building. These activities may seem simple, but for our students, they are powerful learning experiences that promote independence, coordination, and confidence.\r\nMany of our students face challenges that impact their ability to participate fully in the classroom and school environment. Through the use of these real-life materials, students are able to practice skills that directly support their success in school. Improved fine motor control helps students with writing, cutting, and manipulating classroom tools. Enhanced gross motor and motor planning skills support safe movement, body awareness, and participation in play and group activities. Developing ADL skills helps foster independence and self-confidence that carries over beyond the therapy room.\r\nPerhaps most importantly, your donations help our students build the foundational skills needed to engage with their peers. When students gain confidence in their abilities, they are better able to participate in cooperative play, classroom routines, and social interactions. These experiences are essential for inclusion, social development, and a sense of belonging within the school community.\r\nYour support goes far beyond supplying materials—it provides opportunities, growth, and hope. Each item you donated has become a tool for learning, progress, and achievement. The impact of your generosity is seen every day in the smiles, determination, and accomplishments of our students as they work toward their goals.\r\nOn behalf of our students, families, and staff, thank you for believing in our program and for investing in the potential of children with disabilities. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\n\r\nDina Quandt, COTA/L","fullyFundedDate":1768099853076,"projectUrl":"project/cooking-up-some-fun-in-ot/9993649/","projectTitle":"Cooking Up Some Fun in OT","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9370172_orig.jpg?crop=902,902,x0,y129&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704400282724","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9370172"},{"teacherId":10406263,"projectId":10028703,"letterContent":"I want to express my deepest gratitude for your all your support to our health office here at NMES.
