Being able to get this subscription has been such a huge asset to my lesson planning this year. \r\nWe have a wonderful curriculum but it is so helpful having such easy access to great materials that supplement our units. This past school year we have been learning about the advantages of play based learning and I have attached just some of the activities I use daily that make practicing our phonics features and sight words more fun. Other activities we have are decidable partner plays, puzzles, stories online with QR codes that go along with our units, among other things. The kids are always having fun doing these activities and they are learning so much while they do it! \r\n\r\nThank you so much for this and I know my students appreciate it as well.","fullyFundedDate":1750706343084,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-and-fun-in-learning-centers/9414538/","projectTitle":"Creativity and Fun in Learning Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/535527"},{"teacherId":9317059,"projectId":8125386,"letterContent":"I apologize for the delay in thank you for your generous support to my DonorsChoose project! Because of you, my students received a wonderful collection of winter-themed books that brought so much joy and learning into our classroom.\r\n\r\nThese books weren't just fun to read — they really helped my students grow as readers and thinkers. Many of them are still developing their language skills, and these stories gave them the chance to hear new words, practice reading out loud, and talk about what they were learning in a way that felt exciting and meaningful. It was amazing to see their confidence grow as they connected with the characters and themes.\r\n\r\nThe winter stories also helped us build a strong sense of community in our classroom. We shared laughs, made predictions, and even created our own winter-inspired stories and drawings. These books truly sparked creativity and conversation every single day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, my students experienced the magic of books in a way that made them feel seen, inspired, and proud.
