During our studies, children used the cameras to take photos of nature, and our day. At the end of the study, we made a video recorded by the students sharing all of what we learned and displayed photographs all over our room for families to see.\r\n\r\nDuring the study, students would asked to take photos of their work showing a proud sense of accomplishment. \r\nI know my students will never forgot the camera study. and I believe this study truly made a difference in their love for school and the way they look at the world.","fullyFundedDate":1758203025338,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-action/9587983/","projectTitle":"Lights Camera Action!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8465597_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651894985471","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8465597"},{"teacherId":9723053,"projectId":9672022,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project. Because of your kindness, my Pre-K students now have access to resources that have transformed our art area into a more organized, inspiring, and engaging learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe materials you provided play an important role in how my students learn each day. A color printer allows me to print vibrant art activities, visual supports, and learning materials that capture children's attention and support different learning styles. These visuals help students better understand instructions, explore colors and shapes, and make meaningful connections during art activities. The printer also makes it possible to share students' artwork with their families, which builds pride and strengthens the home–school connection.\r\n\r\nThe laminator has become an essential classroom tool. By preserving classroom charts, student name cards, and art-related materials, we are able to reuse them throughout the year. This consistency helps young children feel more confident and independent, as they can recognize familiar visuals and routines. Laminated materials also allow students to engage more freely, knowing the materials are durable and made just for them.\r\n\r\nThe books included in this project have been especially inspiring for my students. Through these books, children are introduced to colors, shapes, and famous artists in an age-appropriate way. The stories spark curiosity and often lead to thoughtful conversations and creative ideas that carry over into our art projects. Many students refer back to the books when creating their own artwork, proudly explaining the inspiration behind their choices.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions to our classroom has been the rolling cart. Keeping art supplies organized and easily accessible has encouraged independence among my students. Children are able to select materials on their own, clean up responsibly, and transition smoothly between activities. This organization helps reduce wait time and allows students to stay focused and engaged.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially thrived with these new resources. Children who were once hesitant to participate in art activities now show increased confidence, while others demonstrate improved focus and responsibility. Overall, these materials have helped create a joyful and supportive learning environment where creativity and learning go hand in hand.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for believing in our Pre-K students. Your support has made a meaningful and lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758899161290,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-creations-helping-pre-k-artist/9672022/","projectTitle":"Colorful Creations: Helping Pre-K Artists Learn and Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hae Youn Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9723053_orig.jpg?crop=2160,2160,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725311280540","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9723053"},{"teacherId":8465597,"projectId":9576761,"letterContent":"thank you for provided me with materials to support students in the first month of school and helping me create a warm and welcoming environment.
