We created a \"Healthy Kindergartners\" routine where our instructional aide helps sanitize tables, wipe down high-touch areas, and keep our shared materials clean. One of my favorite moments was watching the children proudly assist by clearing their spaces so everything could be wiped down with the Clorox wipes after centers. It has quickly become part of our daily expectations, and the students feel a real sense of responsibility and ownership over their learning space.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the sanitizers and cleaning materials, they were excited—several of them even cheered because they love being helpers. Thanks to these donations, we can continue teaching strong hygiene habits while keeping our environment safe. Our next steps include incorporating these routines into our lessons on health, community, and personal responsibility. The supplies ensure that students can stay focused on learning while developing lifelong habits for staying clean and healthy.","fullyFundedDate":1758835785182,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-kindergartners/9728375/","projectTitle":"Healthy Kindergartners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nunez Flowers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9730249"},{"teacherId":8491581,"projectId":9706519,"letterContent":"We are using the From Pages to Projects: STEM Adventures in Reading activities to connect stories with hands-on STEM challenges. For example, after reading a book about The Three Hens and a peacock, students worked in small groups to design and their characters their own using classroom materials. This project sparked creativity and teamwork while reinforcing reading comprehension and problem-solving skills.\r\nTheir faces lit up with excitement! Many students immediately started flipping through the story and brainstorming ideas. They were thrilled to see that reading could lead to building and creating, which made them eager to dive into the lessons.\r\nNext, students will choose a favorite story and create a STEM project inspired by it. They'll present their designs to the class and explain how the book influenced their creation.
