Because of your generosity, my Pre-K students (ages 3–5) were able to explore science and math concepts in a joyful, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate way.\r\nThe materials were thoughtfully integrated into our classroom through sensory bins and the light table accessories. Students used the pluffle materials to scoop, pour, sort, and explore, strengthening fine-motor skills while also building early math concepts such as counting, comparing, and classifying. At the light table, children investigated colors, textures, and cause-and-effect as they experimented with light and shadow, sparking curiosity and scientific thinking.\r\nThese hands-on experiences encouraged students to ask questions, make predictions, and collaborate with peers. Many children who are typically hesitant to participate were especially engaged, showing increased confidence and excitement as they explored independently and alongside their classmates. The open-ended nature of the materials allowed every child to participate at their own level, supporting diverse learning needs and promoting inclusion.\r\nBecause of you, my students are learning that science and math are fun, accessible, and part of their everyday world. Your support helped lay a strong foundation for curiosity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning.

This project was one of my more expensive ones due to the cost of this particular sensory table. I selected the Jonti-Craft See-Thru Sensory Table because of its durability and size. It is large enough to allow four of my students to utilize it at once. They have really enjoyed this added experience to our science and discovery center in our classroom. We added water and then plastic fishes with numbers on it. The students enjoy not only scooping and pouring the water but also using the fishing poles to \"fish\" for different numbered fish.\r\n It snowed a couple weeks ago here in New Jersey. We added fresh snow from our courtyard to the table and even added some food coloring to the snow. My students really enjoyed having this type of sensory experience.

Each student will be provided with a blue bag to place the books they select in. They will also receive ocean themed stickers to decorate their bags.I had submitted this project in advance to allow us to have plenty of time to get it funded and have the supplies come in. Although the book fair isn't for a couple more months, I allowed the students in my class to preview the Rainbow Fish books so you could see the materials in action since we have to submit within a timeframe. They loved the books. I wish there was a way to update with more pictures after the fair. I will check with Donors Choose and see if there is an option to do this. Thanks again for your generosity.

My 3- to 5-year-olds are excited to independently choose stories and songs, carefully place the Tonie characters on the box, and settle into our cozy listening area with big smiles.\r\nThis listening station has already made a meaningful impact on student learning. I am seeing growth in listening comprehension, vocabulary development, and attention span as students engage with stories in a calm, focused way. Many children are retelling stories, using new words during play, and initiating conversations with peers about what they heard. For some students, this has also become a soothing space that supports self-regulation and confidence.\r\nMost importantly, the Tonies Listening Station has sparked a genuine love of storytelling and learning. My students feel empowered by being able to make choices independently, and they are developing early literacy skills in a joyful and developmentally appropriate way.\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping create meaningful learning experiences that will support them now and as they grow.
