• Hands-On Learning: Puzzles, Fidgets, and Emotion Tools for Student Success

  Funded Dec 19, 2024

  The new hands-on learning resources—puzzles, fidgets, and emotion tools—have brought excitement and engagement to our classroom. When my students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with curiosity and enthusiasm. One memorable moment was during a group activity where students used emotion tools to express their feelings before tackling a challenging puzzle, fostering both social-emotional growth and problem-solving skills. These resources have not only enhanced focus but also created a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. Moving forward, we plan to integrate these tools into daily lessons, helping students regulate emotions and stay engaged in their learning journey”

• Bringing Words to Life in Full Color!

  Funded Oct 17, 2024

  Thanks to your incredible generosity, you've truly "Brought Words to Life in Full Color!" Your donations have transformed our classroom into an engaging, dynamic learning space that supports our students in exciting and meaningful ways.

  The color printer and laminator have been game-changers for our students. By creating vibrant, durable materials like visual aids, personalized schedules, and interactive learning resources, we've been able to more effectively cater to each student's needs. For example, students with visual impairments benefit from high-contrast materials that make learning clearer and more accessible, while others are motivated by colorful, eye-catching resources that hold their attention and spark curiosity.

  Our new sequencing cards and mirror have brought a fresh sense of excitement and fun to lessons. The sequencing cards are helping students develop essential critical thinking and storytelling skills, as they organize steps and create narratives with ease. One of our students, Alex, who has struggled with focus, now eagerly engages with the cards, proudly arranging them to tell a complete story.

  The mirror has been especially loved by our younger learners, who use it during speech and language activities. It's helping students see how they form sounds and words, improving their confidence and pronunciation. For Madison, one of our shy students, the mirror has become a tool of self-discovery, enabling her to practice speaking in a way that's both empowering and fun.

  Your contributions have made these impactful moments possible. Because of your support, our students are not only learning but thriving in ways we couldn't have imagined. Thank you for believing in their potential and for bringing their learning to life with color, creativity, and joy.”
