They are building structures, which has encouraged creativity and enhanced their fine motor skills. The musical instruments are lovely because the kids are learning to explore sound and music by experimenting with different notes. Many of the materials have helped them develop their tactile skills, and when it comes to art, the students enjoy mixing colors and creating artwork.","fullyFundedDate":1729355286529,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play/8879911/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Acevedo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8357716_orig.jpg?crop=1152,1153,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670710716808","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amarilis-acevedo"},{"teacherId":8824270,"projectId":8877074,"letterContent":"My students and I are sending a huge mahalo for our materials.
