The students in my TK classroom have been enjoying tremendously the new paints, watercolors, cardstock, drying rack and more!! These new items have been such a trajectory to our art centers and integrated so well into our classroom lessons. Whether we are learning about space, free drawing, or experimenting with paint and soap everything is a great and meaningful moments. One especially meaningful moment was watching students organize and place their artwork on our new drying rack, knowing their artwork now has a safe and special place to dry. This has allowed us to create more often and with greater care and confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen our materials first arrived, students were so excited and eager to explore the new supplies.

It has become a place where they practice respectful conversations, learn about their classmates, and engage more deeply in lessons.

If anything, our new carpet is so soft and comfortable. Everybody really loves it! We are there for most of the day, during our afternoon and morning meetings, read-alouds, and lessons. It has become such a joyful focal point of our classroom learning. The kids were so excited to take pictures to say Thanks to our mystery donors! I told them wonderful strangers bought us this carpet and they asked, \"Why?!\" I just said you donors were just choosing to be super kind, just because, which is something we all are learning to strive towards.

Because of you, students now have consistent access to books that inspire curiosity, learning, and a love of reading.\r\n\r\nStudents are excited to apply their reading strategies as they select books that match their interests and challenge their thinking.

As they explored the items, they quickly realized that this project was designed to support them in creating a year-long portfolio that documents their goals and tracks their progress throughout the school year. The materials immediately felt purposeful, helping students see how they could organize their work in a meaningful way rather than simply completing isolated assignments.\r\n\r\nAs they continued engaging with the project, many students became more enthusiastic and personally invested. They appreciated the opportunity to show their individuality while taking greater ownership of their learning, recognizing that the portfolio would grow alongside them. The materials empowered students to take their education into their own hands, making the learning process feel more personal, reflective, and motivating.","fullyFundedDate":1762368540479,"projectUrl":"project/showing-more-than-just-academics/9708375/","projectTitle":"Showing More Than Just Academics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9108966_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698101693469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maestraxlopez"},{"teacherId":10238609,"projectId":9676011,"letterContent":"I'm excited to share that our students loved our lending library! They look forward to bringing their book bags home at the end of the week and love to peek inside their bag to see what's been picked out for them. The items that they receive each week are generally based on our observation of the students' interests, while we've created a rotation with the Toniebox audio system so that each student and their family gets a chance to try it out. \r\n\r\nWhen the thought of creating a lending library came to mind one and a half years ago, my hope is that families can serve as partners in their children's learning. One of the top focus in our district that serves primarily low income families is Language and Literacy. As a teacher in the special education preschool program, every student in my class receives speech therapy, and half of them are non-verbal, which means they rely on other methods, such as gestures, facial expressions, or pictures to communicate their needs. This means that the focus on language and literacy becomes even more crucial for our student population as it impacts every aspect of their lives. \r\n\r\nIn addition, many of our families rely on an iPad and screen time to find respite within their challenging day and oftentimes through many restless nights. My hope of introducing the screen-free audio player is to reduce screen time and provide children with alternative means of listening to their favorite songs without scrolling through YouTube. \r\n\r\nThis project is still in its beginning stage where only families who have signed and returned an agreement form can participate. This is to ensure that materials being sent home will be cared for and returned in a timely manner. Currently the participation rate sits at less than 40%, which is 6 out of my 16 students. Going forward, with additional outreach and hopefully through word of mouth, my goal with this project is to increase the participation rate in my class to at least 70%. \r\n\r\nThank you for your partnership in making this vision become a reality!","fullyFundedDate":1759290849285,"projectUrl":"project/build-literacy-through-screen-free-liste/9676011/","projectTitle":"Build Literacy Through Screen-Free Listening Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10238609_orig.jpg?crop=857,857,x422,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758776648910","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10238609"},{"teacherId":10160844,"projectId":9551042,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations!

The new footballs, jump ropes, basketball playground balls, and parachutes have already made a noticeable impact on our PE lessons and on student enthusiasm for physical activity.\r\n\r\nStudents are using the equipment in a wide variety of health and wellness lessons designed to teach physical fitness, motor skills, and teamwork. The parachutes have become a student favorite! Our 30-ft parachute and smaller 6-ft parachutes have allowed us to create cooperative learning games that build coordination, communication, and shared problem-solving. Our pull cart and heavy-duty mesh storage bags have helped keep equipment organized and easily accessible, allowing us to transition smoothly between activities and maximize movement time. We have also incorporated the electronic whistle for efficient instruction and safety during larger class games.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting moments was watching students see the new materials for the first time. Their eyes lit up when they noticed the brand-new footballs, colorful jump ropes, and large new parachute spread across the blacktop. Many students immediately asked when they could start playing! Several students even commented that this equipment \"Makes PE fun again,\" which shows just how much these resources have elevated their experience and confidence.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using the nylon clips and plastic mile time tags to support our running and cardiovascular endurance lessons. Students are learning how to track their times and set personal fitness goals while building a stronger understanding of healthy movement habits. This tracking has given them ownership over their improvement and helped them celebrate progress in a meaningful way. Our next step is to help students use these results to understand growth mindset and to develop positive attitudes around health and wellness.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our PE program is better equipped to teach lifelong physical fitness and expose students to team sports in an engaging and developmentally appropriate way. Your contribution has strengthened our ability to promote health, active play, teamwork, and confidence for every child in our school.
