We had to explain they there were no strings attached to receiving the items for this program. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe appreciate the donation to our class, it has been used consistently by our students. The area that we setup for them to use as a corner to relax and been calm to themselves is much appreciated by all the students and us teachers as well. The students spend more time on the carpet and beanbag than they due at their desk since we received the items, so i know they really do appreciated all that was done for them. My more sensitive students also love the wall that we created, it has to be changed often to accommodate them. We can't say thank you enough for this most generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758636805616,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-up/9631943/","projectTitle":"Sensory Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mccloud","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9788911"},{"teacherId":9774941,"projectId":9128098,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support of my classroom project. Your contribution has made a real and immediate impact on my students, and I'm excited to share how we've been using the new resources.\r\n\r\n\r\nAs part of our Child Development class, the new materials have helped bring our lessons to life. One of the most memorable moments so far was during a hands-on activity where students explored different developmental stages using the new visual aids and tools. It was inspiring to watch them take ownership of their learning and bring such energy and insight to the classroom.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were excited and full of curiosity. Some of them said, \"This feels like a real lab now!\" and \"I can't wait to use this for our next project.\" It truly made them feel seen and supported.\r\n\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the semester, our next steps include a childcare simulation project, where students will apply what they've learned about infant and toddler development. Thanks to you, they now have the tools to create realistic caregiving scenarios, analyze developmental milestones, and even reflect on their own growth as future caregivers, educators, or parents.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for being part of our classroom journey. Your generosity is helping shape thoughtful, informed, and inspired young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1742936731389,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-developmentally-appropriate-pl/9128098/","projectTitle":"Exploring Developmentally Appropriate Play: Hands-On Learning for Future Educators","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Atkinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774941"},{"teacherId":9774941,"projectId":8890368,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! The new resources have had an incredible impact on our students and their learning experiences.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the materials, we've been able to implement new projects that engage students in ways that were previously challenging. For example, one of our recent projects involved using the new interactive learning tools to explore history through hands-on activities. My students worked in small groups to research a historical period, create presentations, and share what they learned with the class. They were thrilled to work with new resources that made learning feel more interactive and relevant. It sparked so many rich conversations about history, and they took great pride in presenting their findings.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless. Many of them were excited to dive right in and immediately started exploring the resources. Their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to get their hands on the new materials. It created a buzz of energy in the classroom that we hadn't experienced before.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to build on the current project by encouraging students to connect what they've learned to real-world applications. For example, we'll be using the new resources to simulate historical events and explore how different choices could have impacted outcomes. We're excited to continue deepening their understanding and engagement with these topics.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is helping create a classroom environment where learning is both fun and meaningful, and we can't wait to see how these resources continue to empower our students on their educational journeys.
