X20 Explorers
Funded Dec 10, 2024Thank you so much for helping my students. The excitement in their eyes was priceless when I took out the astronaut projectors. They have not stopped requesting to use them after we complete our read-alouds in class. They are working to earn the Projectors after completing their classwork.
It has greatly helped them to remain focused and complete their daily schedules. They are motivated and it has increased their speech and language skills. They are engaging with each other and making comments with each other.
We have been enjoying using them everyday after linch and they will each be taking them home in June. Thank you so much for sparking their interests and making learning motivating and fun for my students.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.Adapted Books and Visuals Needed
Funded Dec 19, 2021I want to thank you all for your support in purchasing a teachers pay teachers gift card. I was able to purchase various adapted books, social stories and schedules that have helped my students achieve their goals academically and socially.
The social stories have helped the students communicate and get through challenging behaviors due to their speech and language deficits. The schedules provided each of them with visuals on various levels based on their needs. It has helped them get through the day and earn stars to gain access to
Class treasure chest.
My students, staff and I thank you from the bottom of our Hearts.”

Help My Students Learn With Sensory
Funded Oct 8, 2021I wish you all could have heard and seen the excitement when I shared all the new sensory items! The kids have been using them daily. It has been a great motivator in helping the kids complete their daily work. It has especially helped with diminish afternoon behaviors as we are waiting for parents and busses to arrive. Attached are a few photos of the kids enjoying some of the items we have added to our classroom choice time bin because of your generosity. I am so thankful to each and everyone one of you.”
