So far we have been able to help promote fine motor skills and reading CVC words with them so far but as we continue they will be able to use them in math, social studies, and science. There is so much that can be done with them.\r\nThe students have been engaged with those items that we have received. We have used the playdough during Centers and is still one of the favorites months later. I have been able to create some great word cards that the students have been able to use in the Writing Center and will be able to have for future classes as well. I really appreciate the writing tablets for students to use instead of whiteboards and dry erase markers because I don't have to worry about markers drying out and if the students cleaned their boards enough. The writing tablets are perfect for helping them out during math and practice writing letters.\r\nLastly, I am so thankful for the containers of cleaning wipes. It is a simple thing but with them we are able to wipe our tables to help the students' sickness down. This year has had a couple of really tough rounds of sickness and I feel that just wiping down the tables everyday has made it so more students have been present at school instead of sick. Being present everyday is so important!\r\nBeing able to receive each and every item is one more thing that I do not have to worry about how to get or end up buying myself. I appreciate all this help that has helped to enrich, engage, and support this classroom and all the students in it.","fullyFundedDate":1769207100440,"projectUrl":"project/keep-my-classroom-interesting-and-safe/9998302/","projectTitle":"Keep My Classroom Interesting and Safe!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Y","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9354503"},{"teacherId":5659617,"projectId":10038323,"letterContent":"You have brought joy and productive movement to our classroom!

They love the different colors, and it lets them sit on the tiled parts of the room as well.\r\n\r\nThe rewards that you provided us with have kept the students motivated during the long testing season this spring. And thanks to your donation of books, we are set to end out the year with the engaging and meaningful novel 'Because of Winn-Dixie,' which students can truly connect with.

Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment.\r\nWhen our first boxes of books arrived, my students spent over an hour exploring them with excitement and curiosity. The books came in four separate boxes, and my students quickly learned what that meant—everything else would pause so we could open each box together and discover what was inside.\r\nThese books have become an essential part of our daily routine. Students independently choose to visit the classroom library, especially on Monday mornings after being away for the weekend. When they complete tasks and need downtime, they are often found reading in the library or lying on the carpet with a book in hand. In fact, I now have \"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?\" memorized—because it is requested at least once every single day!\r\nWhen our new carpet arrived, I was ecstatic. I even included a picture of the day I rolled it out and tested it myself—I joked that the night janitors might find me sleeping there! This carpet has quickly become the heart of our classroom. Students read, play, learn, and rest on it throughout the day, and I am often right there on the floor with them.\r\nIn our Early Childhood documentation photos, the difference is clear. Instead of a worn and stained space, students are now learning and playing on a clean, soft, and welcoming carpet. In a classroom serving students with autism, having access to a comfortable, structured space and engaging, developmentally appropriate reading materials is especially important, as it supports attention, communication, and early literacy development while helping students feel safe and regulated.\r\nYour donations have truly helped create a classroom environment where students feel safe, valued, and excited to learn and explore.\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for making a lasting impact on my students' daily experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1768240594223,"projectUrl":"project/kids-autism-carpet-and-book-update/10009080/","projectTitle":"Kids' Autism Carpet and Book Update","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10402026"},{"teacherId":10411067,"projectId":10037286,"letterContent":"Our new recess resources have transformed playtime.

Some immediately pointed out the games they recognized from home, others were excited to see activities they'd never tried before. For many of them, having access to fresh, high‑quality items felt like a real celebration of their hard work and it motivated them to keep pushing themselves throughout the semester.\r\n\r\nNow that these resources are part of our achievement system, the next step is helping students use them to build stronger social skills, teamwork, and problem‑solving. We're incorporating the games into small‑group rotations and using the hands‑on activities as part of our goal‑setting lessons.
