The case for the iPad will hopefully protect it through all of the great activities and experiences that I want to do with my class this year.

We also follow the program of, \"Meet the Master,\" where they can use the colors to enhance their creativity. \r\n\r\nPete the Cat is always welcome for leisure reading at the classroom library. The books about Friendship and Empathy instill in the students positive feelings towards others and how to treat other people.

The raised bed was easy to put together. The plant workers at our school were kind enough to move it outside once I assembled it. The students made an assembly line to move wood chips into the garden bed. It was hard work but they enjoyed it. After that they added soil; the next thing to do was transfer some potato and carrot seedlings to the bed. (They were kitchen scraps that I brought from home.) Next, all of the kindergartners were able to plant a sunflower seed. The students from the other classes were happy to take part. Finally, my students took turns watering the garden.\r\n\r\nEveryday we would check for progress. You cannot imagine the excitement once the seeds started to sprout! None of this would have been possible without your support. These students will always remember the time they planted a garden in kindergarten 😃🌻.","fullyFundedDate":1742914137919,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-create-a-kindergarden/9206683/","projectTitle":"Help Us Create a Kindergarden","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leaks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp305670_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450561617597","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsleaks"},{"teacherId":305670,"projectId":9236666,"letterContent":"I appreciate your support and kindness for donating to my classroom.

A few of the books have been added to our classroom library. \r\n\r\nThe book about the weather was given to them for Easter. The illustrations were so pretty and colorful. The book was very informative. I'm glad I ordered a few extra copies to put in the classroom library for future students. I'll wait until June to give them the book about Dads. It will make a great early Father's Day gift.

The students have been enjoying them very much. Painting should be a regular occurrence in a kindergarten classroom, in my opinion. That's why I'm so happy that you helped to fund our project. The students were excited when the boxes arrived. They couldn't believe how many snack options they now have. \r\n\r\nI got the idea for snack and paint from the adult sip and paint craze. Painting while snacking seems to cause the students to be more mindful of both activities.
