Because of your kindness, my students now have access to manipulatives, headphones, a laptop, a printer, and comfortable bean bags that have transformed how we learn each day.\r\nThe manipulatives allow my students to explore math concepts in a hands-on way, helping them build strong foundations through play and discovery. The headphones give students the opportunity to focus during learning activities and listen to stories and lessons at their own pace. The laptop and printer have made it possible for me to create engaging lessons and provide meaningful materials that support each child's learning needs. The bean bags have created a cozy, welcoming space where students feel comfortable reading, relaxing, and learning.\r\nThese resources have made our classroom more engaging, supportive, and joyful. Most importantly, they help my students feel valued and excited about learning. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in our young learners.

The new resources have completely transformed how we use our recess and activity time. My students now have opportunities to practice teamwork, coordination, and problem-solving while staying active. One of my favorite moments was seeing a group of students work together to create an obstacle course using the new equipment—they were so proud to invite others to try it out, cheering each other on the whole time.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the room was filled with pure joy. My students' eyes lit up and the sound of their excitement said it all. They could hardly wait to get outside and put everything to use. For many of them, it was their first time having such a variety of choices to play, move, and explore during recess.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're building on this momentum by connecting recess play to classroom learning. Students are now using these activities to strengthen cooperation and communication skills, which we'll continue practicing during group projects and team-based learning. The next step is guiding them to recognize how the teamwork they show at recess can also help them succeed in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support made all of this possible, and we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1750274804957,"projectUrl":"project/playground-power-up-lets-make-recess-a/9307740/","projectTitle":"Playground Power-Up: Let’s Make Recess a Blast!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4629776"},{"teacherId":4357293,"projectId":9113709,"letterContent":"The donated classroom supplies—highlighters, markers, pencils, and other essential items—have had a meaningful and lasting impact on our classroom.
