Classroom storage and organization most often comes out of the teachers' pockets, and that just isn't always possible for us! Our students deserve clean and organized spaces for their belongings. Thanks to your donations, my preschool students were able to begin to learn foundational executive functioning skills that will stick with them forever. My students were so excited to see their boxes with their names. They were excited to place their art work, belongings, and assistive devices in their own box. This helped myself and support staff in the room to stay organized as well. It allowed us to have a space to store letters that needed to be sent home, etc. \r\n\r\nThank you for the lasting impact you have had on me, my students, and the future.","fullyFundedDate":1739462443933,"projectUrl":"project/clean-space-clear-brains/9075635/","projectTitle":"Clean Space, Clear Brains!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9904934_orig.jpg?crop=680,681,x0,y54&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758590137082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9904934"},{"teacherId":8190944,"projectId":9202224,"letterContent":"I have received the easel and it has made a big difference in my classroom.

Your kindness and support have brought invaluable learning experiences into our classroom, sparking curiosity, creativity, and joy in our young learners.\r\n\r\nSensory bins are more than just a fun activity; they serve as a cornerstone of early childhood education. These hands-on learning tools engage multiple senses, helping children develop essential cognitive, social, and motor skills. Thanks to your contribution, our students have had the opportunity to explore a variety of textures, colors, and materials that stimulate their minds and encourage their natural sense of wonder.\r\n\r\nOne of the most beautiful aspects of sensory bins is their ability to make learning come alive. Whether we are exploring a bin filled with kinetic sand and seashells to learn about ocean life, or engaging with colorful pom-poms and tweezers to strengthen fine motor control, each experience enhances our students' understanding of the world around them. Sensory play not only reinforces early academic concepts, such as counting, sorting, and patterning, but it also nurtures problem-solving skills and creativity, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your support and investment in our students' growth. Your contribution has not only enriched our classroom but has also made a lasting impact on each child's developmental journey. We look forward to sharing their progress and continued learning with you and hope you take pride in knowing that your generosity has helped shape bright and eager young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1662564170830,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-bin-explosion/6770023/","projectTitle":"Sensory Bin Explosion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chaney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6260715_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1554407520270","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6260715"},{"teacherId":6260715,"projectId":7020853,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to make art projects with my students.
