Our students are using the magnetic board to proudly build and explore their own names and their friends' names. For many of our preschoolers, recognizing and forming the letters in their name is a huge milestone—and your support made that possible.\r\nThese materials are helping our students develop early literacy skills, fine motor strength, and a sense of identity as they see their names displayed and celebrated. Most importantly, they are finding their voice through hands-on, joyful learning experiences every single day.\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your kindness and belief in our students. Thank you for investing in their learning and helping them take these important first steps as readers and writers.","fullyFundedDate":1765997917703,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-preschoolers-find-their-voiceo/9949727/","projectTitle":"Help Our Preschoolers Find Their Voice—One Letter at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blalock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9024306_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683310538380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9024306"},{"teacherId":9024306,"projectId":9949275,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

New materials always get them excited and wanting to go to the center to explore and create. Next week I will switch out the monster pens and add the gel pens to the center; they absolutely love having new writing materials.
