This project would not have been possible without your generosity. By believing in this \"project based learning\" project... my students truly became fashion designers. This project was a vision that I had for my students... and my students took this project to a whole different level of amazement. Each material you provided was used intentionally. For my students to understand what a designer is, we started this project by reading \"I Am A Little Fashion Designer.\" Card stock was used to create little planning templates, fabric glue and markers were used to execute the designs that were planned onto the teddy bear t-shirts, and the white craft bags were used to put their plushies, \"our models\", in to take home. The photo frames will have their planned design with pictures of their process and completed project as a keepsake. This PBL Fashion Show centered around \"this is something I learned, I planned, I created, and I showcased,\" and because of your support... my students delivered an amazing project and show. I cannot thank you enough, truly.","fullyFundedDate":1765384799791,"projectUrl":"project/the-little-couture-runway/9942909/","projectTitle":"The Little Couture Runway","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2806034_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618874490273","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mshongpk"},{"teacherId":8039135,"projectId":9850247,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the basketball hoop and basketballs.

We have learned the importance of sharing and taking turns. Since the basketball hoop is expandable, we have even lent it to some of the other classes with older students. \r\n\r\nWe are beyond grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1764688877143,"projectUrl":"project/shooting-hoops-to-shoot-for-the-stars/9850247/","projectTitle":"Shooting Hoops to Shoot for the Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burgio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8039135_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663027384071","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8039135"},{"teacherId":3378150,"projectId":9595727,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our kindergarten self-contained classroom. Because of you, my students now have access to meaningful sensory materials that are making a real difference in their daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe kinesthetic sand, colored rice, and pom poms have become favorites during our sensory bin time. These materials help students strengthen fine motor skills, regulate their emotions, and engage in calming, hands-on exploration. For many of my students, sensory play is not just fun—it is essential for helping them feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe bingo dabbers and Lakeshore alphabet cones have added excitement to our literacy activities. Students are more motivated to practice letter recognition, matching, and early writing skills when they can learn through movement and touch. These tools have helped make learning accessible for students with diverse needs, allowing them to participate successfully and confidently.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my classroom is a more engaging, supportive, and inclusive place. You have helped create learning opportunities that meet my students where they are and celebrate how they learn best.

You should have seen their faces when they saw the hats and gloves on our small group table, and when they were told that it was for them... the sparkle in their small eyes was a moment that words cannot describe. Since the beginning of the school year, my students were taught what the word \"thankful\" means, and one of my students said, \"Ms. Hong, I am thankful for my gloves... it's going to keep my hands warm.\" And at that moment, I knew my four year old students could not tell you the meaning of what \"thankful\" is... but they FELT it. As their teacher, I am thankful for your warm and kind generosity. Now my students will be able to keep their heads and hands warm as they tackle this winter season.
