Special Kids Learn to Read
Funded Nov 23, 2012Our class is so excited to start using the Jolly Phonics programs that you so graciously provided. We are so thankful that you supported our Donor's Choose project. These materials will help make reading and writing easier to learn for the special students at our school.
This program is sensory-based, so we can learn to read and write through movement, song, and other traditional ways. Because the students that will use this program have learning challenges, the sensory approach will make a positive difference.
We will always be grateful for your generosity.”

Special Kids Helping Special Kids
Funded Mar 17, 2012Wow, I can't even begin to express how thankful the students and I are for the supplies that you so graciously provided. The children were so excited when the paints and canvases arrived, they couldn't wait to start painting! Their artwork is absolutely amazing, and what is so great about this project is that each student is working on specific educational goals and objectives while completing their paintings. For example, if a child needs to improve his arm and shoulder strength, he wears wrist weights while painting. There are no limits to the skills that we can address!
We truly thank you for your support of our group and of Donor's Choose, and we can't wait to start planning our next project! ”

Multisensory Writing for Special Needs Students
Funded Dec 5, 2011I just want to say thank you for your generous donation to my students. The multi-sensory DVD's and handwriting program that you donated are amazing and have been so helpful to the students every single day. We've used them to learn how to form letters and numbers and even write basic words. A few of my student are starting to write sentences, thanks to your generosity!
Our school's budget is very tight, so we would not have access to these wonderful resources had it not been for your generosity. Having the multi-sensory component to the program makes learning interesting and fun for these special students.
Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms in our country would go without.”
