Because of your generosity, our students now have access to engaging building materials like Legos, Magna-Tiles, and magnetic building blocks that encourage creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nDuring recess and free choice time, these materials have quickly become some of the most popular activities in our classroom. Students work together to design towers, bridges, houses, and imaginative creations. As they build, they practice important STEM skills such as planning, testing ideas, and figuring out how to make structures stronger and taller.\r\n\r\nBeyond building skills, these toys help students develop social skills as well. Our kindergarteners learn how to share materials, communicate their ideas, and collaborate with classmates to create larger projects together. It has been wonderful to watch them support one another, solve problems, and celebrate their creations.\r\n\r\nHands-on learning is so important at this age, and these STEM toys allow our students to explore engineering and creativity in a fun and meaningful way. Your generosity has helped create opportunities for curiosity, discovery, and joyful learning in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our young learners and helping spark a love for STEM at such an early age!","fullyFundedDate":1766163442631,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-minds-stem-recess-games/9949324/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Minds: STEM Recess Games for Kindergarteners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weselo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2978528"},{"teacherId":2978528,"projectId":9945833,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping provide a rolling teacher podium for our kindergarten students. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in how we teach and learn every day.\r\n\r\nWith this rolling podium, I am able to move freely around the classroom while teaching, keeping lessons organized and engaging for all of my students. In kindergarten, learning happens everywhere — on the carpet, at tables, in small groups, and during hands-on activities. Having a mobile teaching station allows me to stay close to my students, maintain eye contact, and support them wherever learning is happening.\r\n\r\nThe podium also helps keep important teaching materials, lesson plans, and technology organized and easily accessible. This means less time searching for materials and more time focused on instruction, guidance, and encouraging our young learners.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, kindergarten is their first experience in a structured classroom environment. Your support helps create a classroom that runs smoothly and allows students to stay engaged, curious, and excited about learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is more flexible, organized, and responsive to the needs of our students.

During 1:1 time, we also use additional educational apps to reinforce skills, provide positive feedback, and celebrate growth.
