Your generosity has filled our preschool classroom with excitement and endless opportunities to learn through play. The children were overjoyed when they saw the colorful bricks, and their imaginations immediately took flight.\r\n\r\nLEGO play isn't just fun—it's powerful learning. As the children build and create, they develop fine motor skills, practice problem-solving, explore math and science concepts, and strengthen social skills like cooperation and communication. These hands-on experiences encourage creativity, perseverance, and critical thinking in ways that traditional lessons simply can't match.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students now have a tool that will inspire them every single day. Thank you for helping us build a foundation for curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753114581942,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-better-future/9440591/","projectTitle":"Building a Better Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaitlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6353570"},{"teacherId":8819882,"projectId":9178782,"letterContent":"We are so very grateful for all of your generous donations! We were so excited and thankful for all of the generosity !!!\r\n \r\nWe were so excited to receive all of these items that will help give our children a very enriching, educational as well as fun summer. The children can explore their environments with these items. They love to look at things outside . Such as ants, worms , flies, lady bugs. The magnifying glasses that they received will give them an up close and personal look at how these insects live.\r\n\r\nThey also were given bug catchers. They can really look at them up close because they have them in an enclosure. The jump ropes will teach them coordination as well as keeping them moving and having fun. The chalk will help with their individuality and their creativity.\r\n\r\nThis was an amazing project and we are all so happy to get this funded and be able to give our children an amazing send off for their summer break. \r\nThank you once again.","fullyFundedDate":1746139321584,"projectUrl":"project/summer-learning-having-a-blast/9178782/","projectTitle":"Summer Learning, Having a Blast!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8819882_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666973595540","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8819882"},{"teacherId":5317629,"projectId":8945076,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all of your generous donations to our classroom project.

You can stack them up on their top and bottoms and even on the sides. We also got some wooden blocks that have colorful windows.
