When the caps and gowns arrived, students were overwhelmed with excitement. Many had never worn formal graduation attire before, and seeing themselves fully dressed for the ceremony brought huge smiles, happy tears, and a deep sense of accomplishment. It was a powerful moment for them, and for all of us.\r\n\r\nDuring the ceremony, the impact of your gift was unmistakable. Our students walked across the stage looking confident, unified, and proud. Families cheered, took photos, and shared how meaningful it was to see their children honored in this way. The caps and gowns helped create a celebration that truly reflected the hard work and perseverance of every student in our school.\r\n\r\nNow that graduation has passed, our students have taken those memories with them as they move on to their next steps; whether that's a new grade level, a new school, or the start of something entirely new. Thank you for helping us give them a moment they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Your support made our ceremony unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1745496329638,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-preschoolers-shine-on-graduatio/9256552/","projectTitle":"Help Our Preschoolers Shine on Graduation Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erika","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8964737_orig.jpg?crop=2277,2277,x38,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676779883185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8964737"},{"teacherId":8964737,"projectId":9256627,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been filled with joy, wonder, and endless learning opportunities! The moment our new materials arrived, my students were bubbling with excitement. When we turned on the Lakeshore Space-Saver Color-Changing Light Table for the first time, their eyes lit up with amazement. They immediately began exploring with the translucent bugs, letters, and pegboards, sorting, patterning, and creating glowing designs while developing fine motor skills and early literacy concepts. It quickly became a favorite center for both sensory exploration and imaginative play.\r\n\r\nThe science kits and materials have helped us launch engaging, hands-on investigations. Using the Easy-View Early Science Kits, magnifiers, and the Toddler Science Center, students have been exploring insects, plants, and simple machines with curiosity and confidence. One child, who typically struggles with language, used a viewer to describe what he saw in a fish model, an amazing moment of language development supported by these rich materials. In dramatic play, the community helper dress-up shirts, play kitchen set, and real-working cash register have turned our classroom into a mini town. Students have been role-playing as doctors, chefs, and postal workers, learning about social roles, teamwork, and responsibility.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we're working on a unit called \"Our Community & Our Planet.\" We're using books, puzzles, and inclusive figurines to learn about the people who help us, teachers, construction workers, nurses, and how we can care for our environment. The bilingual and science books have been especially helpful for our dual language learners, making the content more accessible and meaningful. We're also studying space using the solar system viewer, planet models, and astronomy kits. The students are fascinated by the planets and stars and are even creating their solar system displays to present to families.\r\n\r\nEvery item you've donated has made a direct impact on how we teach, learn, and play together. These materials support multiple learning styles and allow every child, especially those with speech delays and developmental challenges, to fully engage and express themselves. Your generosity has brought so much light into our classroom, both literally and figuratively. Thank you for helping us build a vibrant, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment!","fullyFundedDate":1744747383933,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-preschool-learning-with-hands-/9256627/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Preschool Learning With Hands-On Science and Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erika","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8964737_orig.jpg?crop=2277,2277,x38,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676779883185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8964737"},{"teacherId":8964737,"projectId":9077680,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous support of our classroom through DonorsChoose.

The tree library has become a favorite classroom feature, turning our reading corner into a magical place where students love to gather with a good book.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the easel and the wide range of manipulatives you helped provide have transformed our learning centers. From building fine motor skills to developing early math and literacy understanding, these tools have empowered my students to learn through play, discovery, and creativity.\r\n\r\nEvery day, I see students more engaged, cooperative, and joyful, qualities that create the ideal environment for growth and learning.
