We got the items very close to the end of the school year, so I have not had the opportunity to do an entire class yet. Your donation has already started making an impact though. \r\n\r\nOn the last week of school our TK classes had Lunch at n the Lawn. This is where families get to join their students and picnic with them. As you can imagine though, there are always some students that are not able to have their families join them. Whether it is due to the parents working, foster, or transportation, you were able to turn their sadness into joy. For this Lunch on the Lawn, those students, with many emotions and tears, were able to have Lunch with the Librarian. I feel blessed that I just so happened to walk in as these emotions were playing out. I ran into my library and grabbed the \"Sun\" bin. I was able to show them the power of the sun, even on an overcast day. They all were able to find their nature materials and create their own Cyanotype art. \r\n\r\nSo thank you for helping provide so that these students went from feeling left out, to being the ones all the kids wanted to be. \r\n\r\nYou have made a wonderful impact, I look forward to doing more projects with my students in the future. Please feel free to look at my other projects. Every project impacts every student at my school. I am the only person to personally interact with every student, every week. \r\n\r\nThank you.","fullyFundedDate":1778619729132,"projectUrl":"project/harnessing-the-power-of-the-sun-to-make/10228194/","projectTitle":"Harnessing the Power of the Sun to Make Dynamic Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bollinger (or Miss Alycia)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8188608_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y49&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743548089089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/manliosilvalibrary"},{"teacherId":4350373,"projectId":10152827,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to my classroom project.

Your generosity has made a big difference in how I plan, teach, and support my second graders every single day.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the resources across all subjects—especially in reading and math centers. One moment that really stood out was during our small group reading rotations. I introduced a phonics game from the membership that focused on blends and digraphs. My students were so engaged—they thought it was just a fun game, but little did they know how much they were learning! One of my students, who usually hesitates to participate, shouted, \"I got it right again!\" with the biggest smile. That confidence boost was everything.\r\n\r\nWhen I first shared the colorful centers, interactive notebooks, and digital slides, the excitement was real—kids were pointing, gasping, and asking if we could start right now. It was like Christmas morning in our classroom!\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, I feel more organized and less stressed because I don't have to scramble to create everything from scratch.
