Executive Functioning and Well Being Tools
Funded Mar 24, 2025I am incredibly grateful for your support of my classroom project. With your generous donation, I will be able to provide my students with the materials they need to strengthen their executive functioning skills. The binders, dividers, and folders will help them stay organized and keep track of assignments and notes. The writing supplies will foster their creativity and engagement, while the snacks will keep them energized and focused throughout the day.
Your contribution is truly making a difference in their ability to manage responsibilities and thrive in the classroom. Thank you for believing in their potential and helping create an environment where they can succeed.”

This classroom project was brought to life by LOFT.First Speech Room Organization Needs
Funded Oct 23, 2024Thank you so much for supporting our classroom's journey to a more engaging and organized learning environment! The technology and resources you've provided have truly transformed our space and enhanced how my students engage in speech therapy. The 3M Laminator has become essential for creating durable visual aids, cue cards, and interactive activities that students can repeatedly use without wear and tear. This consistency has been especially helpful for students who benefit from visual support and hands-on practice, allowing them to grow more confident with each use.
The 15 Drawer Rolling Storage cart has improved our organization significantly. Each student now has a dedicated drawer for individualized materials, giving them a sense of ownership and consistency that encourages independence and motivation. The mobility of the cart also allows us to transition seamlessly between activities, making each session more productive and focused.
The VELCRO Brand Dots and Acrylic Sign Holders have added an extra layer of interaction and accessibility. Students engage with materials in a tactile, hands-on way, deepening their connection to the learning process. Those who thrive with interactive learning especially enjoy these tools, as they can now actively move pieces around and work on expressing their ideas more freely. With the Teachers Pay Teachers resources, we have access to specialized games and activities that keep sessions fresh and exciting. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has become a place where students feel supported, engaged, and enthusiastic about growing their communication skills.”

Help Dyslexic Students In Speech Therapy
Funded Sep 16, 2024I am thrilled to share how your generous donations have made a significant impact on my students' learning experiences. Thanks to the new technology and resources you've provided, my students with dyslexia are already showing great improvements in their reading and language comprehension.
The SVANTTO Pen Scanner has been an incredible addition to our classroom. Students can now independently scan text, and the device reads it back to them, helping them bridge the gap between decoding and comprehension. It's particularly exciting for them to see how quickly they can turn challenging text into something they understand with ease. One student, who previously struggled with staying engaged in reading activities, has been so fascinated by the pen scanner that they've begun using it during free reading time. This technology has given them a sense of control and confidence that is truly inspiring.
Additionally, the Zonon Guided Reading Strips have helped my students focus on specific lines of text, making reading less overwhelming. The bright, colored overlays are not only fun but also functional in guiding them through sentences, improving their fluency.
The Orton Gillingham Tools, particularly the decodable readers and activities, are providing structured literacy practice that has been incredibly valuable for my students. They are becoming more confident in differentiating tricky letters like "b", "d", "p", and "q" and are engaging with reading material that is both accessible and enjoyable.
Thank you for making this possible. Your contributions are truly transforming the way my students with dyslexia experience learning.”

Assistive Technology Support in Speech Therapy
Funded Jul 29, 2024Thanks to your generosity, the new technology in our classroom has transformed the way my students engage with speech therapy. The iPad has provided a versatile and interactive platform for students to participate in activities tailored to their individual language development needs. Apps designed to improve pragmatic and expressive language skills are now at our fingertips, allowing students to receive real-time feedback, practice speech exercises, and express themselves more confidently. This technology has created a more dynamic, student-centered learning environment where each student can thrive at their own pace.
What excites my students most is the interactive nature of the iPad. One student, in particular, who had been hesitant to participate in verbal exercises, has shown significant improvement. With the iPad's visual and interactive approach, they are now more engaged and eager to practice. Another student, who struggles with staying focused, has found the iPad an exciting new tool for written speech exercises, helping them stay on task during therapy sessions.
The impact of this project is already clear—students who were once reluctant are now actively participating, and their confidence is growing every day. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for giving my students the opportunity to learn in such an innovative and supportive way.”
