The new manipulatives and toys you helped fund have truly transformed our free choice activity time into one of the most engaging and meaningful parts of our day.\r\n\r\nSince adding these materials, I've watched my students grow in so many ways. During building and construction play, they've learned to work together, share ideas, and solve problems. With the manipulatives, they practice counting, sorting, and patterning — all while thinking they're just \"playing.\" The pretend play animals, toys, and puppets have inspired rich conversations and storytelling, helping students develop their language and social-emotional skills in a natural, playful way.\r\n\r\nIt's been wonderful to see how these new materials have given every child a chance to shine. Some of my quieter students have become leaders during group play, while others who were hesitant to try new things now eagerly explore different centers. Free choice time has become a space where confidence grows and friendships blossom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing that play is powerful learning. Your generosity has created a classroom environment full of wonder, discovery, and joy — one where every student feels excited to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1755738022401,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play/9500361/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bacchetti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10041929_orig.jpg?crop=1692,1692,x0,y118&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753463058735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10041929"},{"teacherId":2420198,"projectId":9247393,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting both teachers and students!
