  • Jamaican Me Crazy for Ice Cream

    Funded Apr 28, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of ingredients and accessories to help my classes create Jamaican-inspired ice cream flavors during Caribbean Heritage Month in June. Your support will make a meaningful difference for my student with autism, giving them a fun and engaging way to expand their social and language skills. Through this special project, they not only will explore new tastes and cultures but also build confidence in communicating and connecting with others. I am truly grateful for your kindness and for helping make this experience so enriching and memorable sweet summer experience.”

  • Unlocking Connections One Adapted Book at a Time!

    Funded Feb 27, 2025

    I am so grateful for your generous donation of TPT gift cards for my students. Because of your support, I have started to purchase a variety of adapted books and materials that have made a real difference in my classroom already.

    This April, as part of our Neurodiversity Celebration Month, we've been exploring mindfulness and yoga. Thanks to your gift, I am able to introduce my students to several adapted yoga books—including a class favorite, Froggy Can Stretch Can You! The kids have been fully engaged, eagerly learning and practicing the poses. Some have even started labeling the poses as they do them, and one enthusiastic student recently corrected my pose—which made everyone laugh and smile!

    Your contribution has helped create meaningful, inclusive learning experiences, and it's so exciting to see my students enjoying movement, language, and self-regulation in such a joyful way. I cannot wait to purchase more books and visual supports to see how they continue to flourish with out upcoming units. Thank you again for helping us grow and thrive!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. S. Lopez
