Through engaging stories and cuddly creature companions, my students practiced self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy in ways that felt meaningful and approachable. These lessons not only supported them in expressing their feelings and handling challenges but also strengthened their ability to build positive relationships with peers. With these resources, I was able to create a safe, supportive environment where every child felt seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful to those who donated and made this project possible. Your generosity directly impacted the lives of my students, giving them lifelong social-emotional skills that will help them succeed both in and out of the classroom.

They were actively engaged in caring for the plants, giving them the opportunity to take responsibility and feel a sense of pride in their work. Through this process, the children were introduced to new vocabulary in action, such as \"pruning\" and \"harvest,\" allowing them to connect big words with real-life experiences in a developmentally appropriate way. These authentic opportunities made learning more memorable and helped expand their language skills.\r\n\r\nAnother significant impact was the joy and excitement the children experienced when tasting the plants they had grown themselves. This not only reinforced the concept of farm-to-table but also helped them make connections between the food they eat and the work it takes to grow it. The hydroponics project encouraged curiosity, patience, and teamwork while providing a concrete example of how their efforts lead to results. Overall, the experience nurtured both cognitive and social-emotional growth, showing how hands-on projects can deeply enrich early learning. We are so grateful to those who donated and made this opportunity possible. Your generosity truly enriched our classroom and gave our preschoolers an unforgettable learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1740446562104,"projectUrl":"project/growing-young-minds-bringing-learning-t/9124930/","projectTitle":"Growing Young Minds: Bringing Learning to Life with Hydroponics!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Doeden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7861586_orig.png?crop=287,287,x256,y18&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739725043885","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7861586"},{"teacherId":7861586,"projectId":9116594,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project, Hydroponic Plants for Pre-K Learners!

It has sparked their curiosity, encouraged hands-on exploration, and given us meaningful opportunities to talk about science, nature, and healthy habits in a way that's engaging and age-appropriate. The children check on the plants daily, excited to observe changes and take part in caring for them.
