One memorable moment was when students used magnifying glasses to observe leaves, rocks, and everyday classroom objects, eagerly pointing out tiny details and textures they had never noticed before. When the materials were first introduced, students were immediately curious and enthusiastic, excited to touch, explore, and proudly call themselves \"scientists.\" Moving forward, we will continue building on these experiences by exploring simple science concepts such as observation, prediction, and cause and effect. Students will use the materials to compare objects, share their ideas through drawings and discussions, and deepen their curiosity about the world around them, helping foster a strong foundation and love for science at an early age.","fullyFundedDate":1762265385681,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-science/9754270/","projectTitle":"Pre-K Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cusack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9011440_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694640623548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9011440"},{"teacherId":9765799,"projectId":9097561,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest thanks for your generous support of my classroom project.

Another group curled up on our floor cushions to read together, and for the first time, I noticed quieter students eagerly participating in partner reading.\r\nThese flexible options have helped students find the seating style that works best for their bodies and learning needs.
