Your kindness helped make the start of the school year extra special for our students.\r\n\r\nThe back-to-school books gave our students something exciting to look forward to as they began a new year of learning. Having their own books encouraged them to read, explore new stories, build their vocabulary, and develop a love of reading. For many of our second graders, receiving a new book made them feel proud and excited about learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation also helped provide a special second-grade snack. This may seem like a small thing, but it made a big difference in our classroom. Sharing a snack gave students an opportunity to take a short break, recharge, and enjoy time together with their classmates. It also helped create a welcoming classroom community where students could feel cared for and included.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students started the school year with new books, full hearts, and a positive classroom experience. Your support reminds our students that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make their second-grade year a little brighter!","fullyFundedDate":1781546939320,"projectUrl":"project/welcome-to-2nd-grade/10293004/","projectTitle":"Welcome to 2nd Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Szalankiewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5903584"},{"teacherId":5903584,"projectId":10289521,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of LEGO building sets to our second-grade classroom! Your kindness has provided 24 students with an exciting, hands-on way to learn, explore, and discover new ideas.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO sets have become more than just something fun to play with—they have become valuable learning tools. Students are using the LEGO bricks to practice building, designing, problem-solving, and working together. They are learning that sometimes a structure doesn't work the first time, and that's okay. They can take it apart, try a new idea, and keep building until they find a solution.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also opened the door to exciting science learning. Students can explore concepts such as balance, stability, gravity, motion, and engineering as they design and test their creations. Instead of simply reading about these ideas, they get to experience them firsthand.\r\n\r\nFor our 24 second graders, the LEGO sets encourage creativity and curiosity while helping them develop important skills they will use throughout their education. Students are learning to communicate their ideas, collaborate with classmates, think critically, and persevere when something is challenging.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped transform our classroom into a place where learning is active, creative, and fun. Every structure our students build represents more than LEGO bricks—it represents a new idea, a problem solved, and a child discovering what they are capable of creating.","fullyFundedDate":1783027232956,"projectUrl":"project/build-with-legos/10289521/","projectTitle":"Build With Legos!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Szalankiewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5903584"},{"teacherId":6911626,"projectId":10395534,"letterContent":"I was so excited to have this project funded before the new school year starts!
