Students can move the stools up to the counter to work around the room providing plenty of flexible seating in the classroom. The students also like the high top stools the sit higher at the tall table.

Students don't have to feel bad for not having their own. We all know headphones brake easily. Now they have a pair and if they don't like the headphones, they can always wear the earbuds. I have put the ear buds in the prize box. So they can pick them if they want them. Most students prefer the headphones.

Your contribution has made such a meaningful difference in how we organize and manage our learning space.\r\n\r\nThe portable label maker has been an incredibly helpful tool. It has allowed me to label, organize, and keep track of everything from student supplies and learning centers to classroom materials and important data. In a busy Pre-K environment, having clearly labeled items helps create a smoother, more structured day for both students and teachers.\r\n\r\nThis organization not only makes the classroom more efficient, but it also supports my young learners in developing independence. With labels on bins, shelves, and supplies, students are learning where things belong and how to take care of their materials. It builds early literacy skills too, as they begin to recognize words and connect print to meaning in their daily routines.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create a more organized, student-friendly learning space.

When the boxes came in, my students were excited. In my STEM lab, classes earn free lab days. During the free lab day, one of the choices I offer is board games. Kids these days are always on electronics so I like to pull out good old fashioned board games for students to play.\r\n\r\nSome of our students have never played board games. My favorite game is Sorry, and I have played since I was a little girl. I love being able to teach the students how to play and even play with them. It allows me to bond with them in a different way that is not a academic. I also love seeing the students just truly have fun, and they are so engaged. \r\n\r\nI have truly enjoyed watching my students play these games, and I am looking forward to sharing them with my students this year as well. We have recently returned to school and when the 3rd graders walked in my room and saw all the fun supplies, they were in awe. They walked out saying that this was their new favorite class. Thank you for allowing my class to be that for our students. A place to learn, create, collaborate, and have fun.","fullyFundedDate":1746480919504,"projectUrl":"project/stem-quest-game-on/9220359/","projectTitle":"Stem Quest: Game On!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Donovan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3917866_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y172&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755276685012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-donovan"},{"teacherId":3917866,"projectId":9272045,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my project.

This was a way that I could assure them that even though they may not be at our school, the memories of them will stay with us. They were able to paint the rocks however they wanted. Some wanted to write their names and others wanted to just decorate it. I think they enjoyed the thought of whenever they came back to visit, their rock will still be here. I little part of them will always be here. \r\n\r\nCreating this legacy garden is also inspiring for the teachers. It allows them to physically see all the students that they have impacted. Our garden will grow year after year. I personally love to look at it. I placed it outside my room so I can see it from my window.

Furthermore, to make it even more challenging, I have created addition and subtraction cards which also include two and three-digit numbers (ex: 45-23=). This skill has certainly tested their Algebraic Reasoning knowledge. \r\n\r\nThe Geometric Shapes have been another hit in our classroom. The children love making the various shapes.
