Through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences, students are better able to grasp new concepts while accessing content through multiple learning styles. These activities strengthen language development, fine motor skills, and sustained focus, while increasing student participation and confidence. They also encourage collaboration and positive social interaction, making learning more accessible, meaningful, and effective for every child.\r\n\r\nThe Early Language Activity Boxes provide intentional, hands-on practice with oral language development, which is foundational to our CKLA curriculum. Students actively build vocabulary, strengthen listening comprehension, and practice expressive language in engaging ways. These materials directly support the Listening & Learning strand of the CKLA Kindergarten curriculum and increase student motivation by turning language practice into an interactive, enjoyable experience.\r\n\r\nThe Fairy Tales Problem-Solving STEM Kits build background knowledge and deepen comprehension through classic fairy tales that students love. By integrating storytelling with engineering and problem-solving challenges, students are highly engaged as they retell stories, collaborate with peers, and apply critical-thinking skills. These kits make literacy come alive, increase student motivation, and strengthen both comprehension and creativity while fostering persistence and teamwork.","fullyFundedDate":1758152881239,"projectUrl":"project/putting-learning-in-their-hands/9448827/","projectTitle":"Putting Learning in Their Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Haas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2923028_orig.jpg?crop=1075,1075,x422,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751915325202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimhaas"},{"teacherId":2962280,"projectId":9194871,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donations to our classroom!
