Because of your generosity, our classroom is now filled with engaging, hands-on materials that spark curiosity and make learning exciting every day.\r\n\r\nWith your help, we received STEM tools like Dash, magnetic bars and building blocks, alphabet tubs, fine motor resources and even flexible seating to support different learning styles. These additions have transformed our learning environment and allowed students to explore, create, and grow in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nOne highlight has been using the alphabet tubs to introduce letters and sounds. During our \"Letter Bb\" week, students eagerly identified objects like a bike or a button using clues—a fun and interactive way to boost vocabulary and phonemic awareness.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping them see that learning is the greatest adventure of all.","fullyFundedDate":1746536796038,"projectUrl":"project/learning-is-our-favorite-adventure/9176613/","projectTitle":"Learning is Our Favorite Adventure!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4236897_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x113,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714443989944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4236897"},{"teacherId":6822443,"projectId":9239841,"letterContent":"How are you and your students using the new resources?

Because of your support, our learning space has been transformed with headphones, crayons, white boards, pocket charts, tape, a crayon sharpener, magnet tiles, pencils, folders, and sentence strips — and we are already putting every item to great use!\r\nThe excitement on my students' faces when we unpacked the materials was priceless. They were in awe — \"Is this all for us?\" one student whispered, eyes wide with wonder. For my students, new supplies were a nice treat, and your gift made them feel seen, valued, and inspired.\r\nThe headphones have been a game-changer for our literacy centers. Now, students can listen to audiobooks and engage with interactive reading apps without distraction, helping to build their phonics and comprehension skills at their own pace. The white boards and sentence strips have made our writing lessons much more interactive, and the pocket charts have turned our morning routines and sight word games into hands-on experiences. \r\nOne of the most memorable moments so far has been during our \"Build-the-Setting\" project. Students used the magnet tiles to recreate settings from the story, then used the sentence strips to write events from the story. It was amazing to see them collaborating, building, writing, and proudly sharing their creations with their classmates. Your donation directly supported this project and made it richer and more meaningful.\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity. You've brought so much joy and possibility to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1743010947982,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9175317/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Howard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9969761_orig.jpg?crop=315,315,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742046236526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9969761"},{"teacherId":6229220,"projectId":8845255,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.
