It has been amazing to see the creativity and excitement my littles exude as they explore each of the materials like Jelly Blocks, dauber markers, and suction builder toys! Every chance they get to use these materials not only helps to develop their imagination and creative thinking skills, but has also physically supports development of their hand strength and fine motor skills. \r\n\r\nThank you again from the bottom of my heart!","fullyFundedDate":1746785644351,"projectUrl":"project/preschoolers-developing-fine-motor-stren/9195730/","projectTitle":"Preschoolers Developing Fine Motor Strength","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sammy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9001750_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720466090253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9001750"},{"teacherId":8393373,"projectId":9286660,"letterContent":"Our students have been thrilled to use the new trucks, shovels, and buckets in our outdoor learning space. As soon as they saw the materials, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they immediately began exploring and creating together. One especially memorable moment was watching a group of students work together to build a \"bakery\" in the mud kitchen. They used the shovels to scoop dirt, the buckets to mix water, and the trucks to \"deliver\" their creations. Soon, they were offering each other mud pies, cakes, and cookies with such pride and joy.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have truly sparked their imagination and supported rich, collaborative play. The materials have encouraged not only creativity but also early math and science skills, as children measure, pour, and problem-solve together.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to build on this interest by introducing simple recipes and prompts for role-play, helping students explore concepts like sequencing, cooperation, and communication. We're so grateful to the donors who made this possible—your generosity gave our students a reason to dig deeper, play harder, and learn with joy.","fullyFundedDate":1745847084648,"projectUrl":"project/the-great-outdoors-playful-learning-wit/9286660/","projectTitle":"The Great Outdoors: Playful Learning with Mud, Leaves, and Trucks!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tomoko","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8393373_orig.jpg?crop=431,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648489617990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8393373"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124675","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":176,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.9,"schoolId":124675,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Quarryview Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Quarryview Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/st-cloud-independent-school-district-742/quarryview-education-center/124675"}
