I can't put in words the impact you have had on the classroom. When we first recieved these new materials my students were just as happy to recieve them as I was.\r\n\r\nWe have used the cash register from open play to using it for small group activities. This includes using it as a cashier for a grocery store,post office,Dr office. It put their imaginations to different places that use cash registers and all the different tasks each do it not to mention preschool math skills it was amazing to see.\r\n\r\nThe musical instruments sparked so much fun in dancing. One of my favorite moments was connecting with a student when I found out one of her favorite things was dancing. \r\n\r\nMy students will continue to grow on different social emotional skills and more due to your generosity so from the bottom of my heart I appreciate everything and will continue to use these materials to scaffold and support new concepts.","fullyFundedDate":1766005925665,"projectUrl":"project/creative-cove/9719447/","projectTitle":"Creative Cove","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tasha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10365151"},{"teacherId":10365151,"projectId":9937599,"letterContent":"My students and I were so excited to see the amazing new toys we got. From the bottom of our hearts thank you. I was so excited to share this special moment with my kiddos. For me that means everything. To see my students safe, happy, learning, and healthy. Their face lit up when they saw the new blocks especially since we were running low. \r\nThey not only allowed them to think in new ways and to build different things. It made them feel special. The sink and float kit I remember one student that was challenging herself not only to try and read the cards that came with it but whose prediction skills developed. \r\nTheir engagement sky rocketed as I was able to switch out some materials. It taught them more how to be responsible and use materials correctly because \"These new items where theirs\" as they were new just for them. \r\nThey are now learning boundaries,sharing,and taking turn due to the new materials as everyone was excited and wanted to play with them. It made a connection on why its important to take care of materials.","fullyFundedDate":1765307907548,"projectUrl":"project/little-minds-little-scientist/9937599/","projectTitle":"Little Minds Little Scientist","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tasha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10365151"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_117048","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":117048,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Acelero Head Start Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Acelero Head Start Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/office-of-head-start/martin-luther-king/117048"}
