We were able to make these wintry wreaths and have them hanging in our classroom throughout January. Initially I had planned to use these as a small gift to the students' parents for Christmas but we had a huge breakout of illnesses and lots of kids missed days in December preventing us to complete them alll before Christmas break. \r\nAfter we returned from the holidays, we were able to finish the wreaths and we hung them from the ceiling in our classroom for a wintry vibe. This worked out perfectly because we literally had zero snow. \r\nWhen February came around, we took down the wreaths and the kids were all smiles taking them home to their parents to enjoy.\r\nWe really appreciate all the donors who helped make this project happen and although it didn't happen like we had initially planned, it was still so much fun.","fullyFundedDate":1764731119073,"projectUrl":"project/wintery-wreaths/9931548/","projectTitle":"Wintery Wreaths","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cody","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3357729_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1526698716671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alicia-cody"},{"teacherId":5928662,"projectId":9901046,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project!
