We've been talking about how we'll use them, and the kids can't wait to design their name tags for Outdoor Lab. They're especially looking forward to getting creative with their tie-dye shirts and imagining how fun it will be to wear them together as a group during the trip.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students immediately wanted to dive in. They began brainstorming what colors they wanted to use on their shirts and couldn't stop sharing ideas for how to make their name tags stand out. Their energy and enthusiasm made it clear that these projects will be a highlight of our Outdoor Lab preparation.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next big step is finalizing everything for Outdoor Lab so the students are ready for their adventure. Once that is complete, we'll shift our focus to an exciting tradition—our 6th grade Shakespeare plays! Our students are already looking forward to stepping into character and bringing the plays to life on stage.","fullyFundedDate":1747366659267,"projectUrl":"project/creative-shirts-for-outdoor-education/9307392/","projectTitle":"Creative Shirts for Outdoor Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9221860"},{"teacherId":4001498,"projectId":9334435,"letterContent":"The fidget toys and prize box items have made a big impact in our classroom! Students use fidgets to stay focused and calm during lessons, which helps them participate more fully. The prize box motivates positive behavior, and one student even shared a prize with a friend, showing kindness and teamwork. These resources support both learning and social-emotional growth.
