They used the Play-Doh for some amazing color mixing experiments! It was so much fun watching them discover how to make new colors! It's awesome for building up their hand strength, too. The beading cords are already proving their worth as the students concentrate hard, quietly practicing their fine motor skills. And the adaptive loop scissors have made cutting practice an enjoyable, accessible skill for everyone in the room. We made rocket ships with streaming paper they cut themselves. \r\n\r\nThe creative tools have also been a hit. The tempera paint sticks allowed them to have fun painting without any of the mess, which they loved! On the academic side, the LCD writing tablets are great for practicing letters and just having fun with writing without the pressure of a pencil and paper.\r\n\r\nFinally, the magnets and building blocks have led to some truly wild creations. The students are so engaged, working together and problem-solving to bring their ambitious structures to life.\r\n\r\nBasically, you've helped us create an environment where every child is empowered to play, explore, and build confidence every day. It's truly amazing.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students. Your support is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1754011485325,"projectUrl":"project/our-little-artists-supplies-for-their-a/9377141/","projectTitle":"Our Little artists.

Your generosity in donating snacks, art supplies like markers and watercolors, Duplo building blocks, and a kitchen play set has brought so much joy and excitement to our classroom. We can't tell you how much we appreciate your support in making our days brighter and more creative.\r\n\r\nThe kids absolutely loved munching on the goldfish and Cheez-It snacks—they were a huge hit during snack time, fueling their energy for all the fun activities we've been able to do. The fruit snacks were quite the effective motivator as a reward for good behavior. With the markers and watercolors, the kids have been busy drawing and coloring some amazing creations, from vibrant rainbows to imaginative scenes that light up our classroom walls. And the Duplo building blocks? They've sparked endless adventures—towers, houses, and even a few \"spaceships\" have popped up, with the kids proudly showing off their engineering skills. The kitchen play set has also been a favorite, inspiring little chefs to whip up pretend meals and share lots of giggles along the way.\r\n\r\nYour donations have truly made a difference, giving these young learners new ways to explore, create, and grow together. We've loved seeing their smiles and hearing their excited chatter as they dive into these activities. Thank you for being such an important part of our Pre-K journey—we're so grateful for your kindness and for helping us make these special moments happen!","fullyFundedDate":1733331178122,"projectUrl":"project/the-adventures-of-pre-k-4-year-olds/8566295/","projectTitle":"The Adventures of Pre K 4 Year Olds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9620527"},{"teacherId":9890324,"projectId":9043319,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generous snack donations through DonorsChoose, my classroom has seen a remarkable shift in both student engagement and overall well-being. Before the donations, many of my students came to school without snacks, often struggling with low energy or difficulty concentrating throughout the day. The donation of snacks has made a world of difference, ensuring that every student has the nourishment they need to stay focused and participate fully in lessons.\r\n\r\nWith snacks available, I've noticed an improvement in classroom behavior and performance. Students are more attentive, engaged, and ready to learn, which has created a more positive and productive learning environment. This support has also fostered a sense of community in the classroom—students are not only able to focus on their work, but they also feel cared for, knowing their basic needs are being met.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, this donation has alleviated a lot of stress, knowing that I can provide for my students without having to dip into my own pocket. It has allowed me to focus more on the educational aspects of my job, rather than worrying about whether or not my students are going hungry. The donations have truly made a lasting impact on my students' ability to succeed, both inside and outside the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1736788466738,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-minds-donate-snacks-to-su/9043319/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Minds: Donate Snacks to Support Classroom Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. O'Bryant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9890324"},{"teacherId":9172771,"projectId":9013223,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution of snacks for our intervention class.
