Thank you for helping me make a difference in my students' learning. The items from this project will help my students regulate their emotions and senses in a healthy and safe way. Fidget toys are essential in a special education classroom. Thank you for meeting the needs of children on the spectrum.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 2 other donors.
My students and I are using the new resources for several crafts, activities, lessons, and projects. For example, we used the small pom poms to decorate our gingerbread men. Moreover, the dot stickers are used for counting activities, to make patterns, or to practice their fine motor skills.
My students are always excited to peel and decorate their work with colorful dot stickers. I will continue to use The donated resources to teach math lessons, phonics lessons, and to strengthen my students' fine motor skills.
Thank you!”

Thank you for your generous donation! Your donation has made a huge impact on my students' learning.
My students and I are using the new resources daily. For example, we have daily learning activities that require the regular use of paper. My students are always excited to engage in fun, colorful activities. With the donated paper, we have made countless animals, (e.g., kangaroos.) The next steps for this project include continuing to create activities on paper, helping students practice writing their names, and practicing their coloring.
Thank you!”

Thank you very much for your generous donation which helped meet the physical needs of all of my students. The new resources that you have donated are being used daily. For example, we use the brooms and dustpans to sweep after breakfast, snack, and after messy activities. We use the apple slicer daily during breakfast and snack to slice apples and pears. My students were honestly not aware of the new materials! My apologies, these resources are used "behind the scenes" to maintain a fun, clean and safe learning environment.
However, all of the kiddos were excited to get new bandaids after a minor scrape.
I plan to use these resources throughout the years to keep my classroom, safe and clean.”

Thank you for your wonderful and generous donation!
My students and I are using the donated resources to play soccer during outdoor play time. We use the soccer goals as goals and we kick the soccer balls into them.
I create drills, or obstacle courses, along with playing full games of soccer. My students were very excited to play soccer outside. They were all eager to begin the game! The next steps for this project are to continue to play soccer with the kids, create drills and obstacle courses to maintain their engagement when playing outside.”
