My students have enjoyed reading the various articles that deal with current events. We have had great discussions and different views of what is happening in the world, and with that many questions that lead into great conversations.\r\n\r\nUsing Time for Kids has also given us the opportunity to identify different text structures. Students are learning how language works and what makes it a certain text structure. They have also learned that an article may have multiple text structures. Since my students are learning to identify certain words to determine the structure, this allows them to take it to their writing as well.\r\n\r\nOnce again thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1779244783860,"projectUrl":"project/current-events/10286651/","projectTitle":"Current Events","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vallecillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10509981"},{"teacherId":8339636,"projectId":10195562,"letterContent":"Here's a revised version that includes how the outdoor dramatic play area supported your Seeds Study while still sounding natural and like a TK teacher.\r\n\r\nDear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and for believing in my TK students. Because of your support, we were able to create an outdoor dramatic play area that has become one of the most loved spaces in our classroom. When my students first saw the new materials, especially the different balls and outdoor play resources, they were so excited. They couldn't wait to explore, create games, and use their imaginations during recess and outdoor learning time.\r\n\r\nThe outdoor dramatic play area has supported so much more than play. During our Seeds Study, students used the space to pretend they were gardeners, farmers, and plant scientists. They worked together to talk about how seeds grow, acted out planting and caring for gardens, and made connections between what they learned in the classroom and their outdoor experiences. Through these hands-on opportunities, my TK students strengthened their language, social-emotional, and gross motor skills while learning to share, problem-solve, and collaborate with one another.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a space where learning and play come together every day. We will continue using these materials throughout the school year to support future studies and give my students meaningful opportunities to explore, imagine, and grow. Thank you for making such a positive impact on my students' learning. Your kindness has helped create joyful experiences that they will remember for a long time.","fullyFundedDate":1776718419413,"projectUrl":"project/growing-playing-and-learning-outdoors/10195562/","projectTitle":"Growing, Playing, and Learning Outdoors Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8339636"},{"teacherId":8182023,"projectId":10052833,"letterContent":"At our school Hidalgo, taking pictures of kind acts have had a powerful impact on increasing kindness within a community. When people capture and share moments of generosity, compassion, and service, they help make positive behaviors more visible and memorable. These images serve as reminders that kindness exists all around us and can inspire others to perform similar acts. Seeing examples of people helping one another can create a ripple effect, encouraging individuals to look for opportunities to contribute positively to their schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.\r\n\r\nBy being able to document kind acts, our community sees its own kids reinforce positive behavior and motivate others to engage in acts of kindness. Photographs have also sparked conversations about empathy, inclusion, and community responsibility and help build a culture where kindness is practiced regularly. \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting us in this venture that will long last this school year.
