The students couldn't wait to dive in and explore. One of our first projects was using the fort building materials to make 2D and 3D shapes. It was amazing to see how quickly they connected with the materials—there were lots of \"wows\" and curious questions flying around.\r\n\r\nThe very first moment they saw the materials, their eyes lit up. The students love having different areas in the classroom to work at. We have had lots of compliments on how comfortable and inviting the classroom looks.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're building on this excitement by having hands on activities during math with the materials we have received. These resources are giving my students opportunities to learn in ways that feel meaningful, hands-on, and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping bring this experience to life—your generosity is making a real difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1746675585218,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-change-and-independence-one/9276174/","projectTitle":"Empowering Change and Independence, One Small Group at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Forsberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070103_orig.jpg?crop=638,638,x121,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686284070299","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070103"},{"teacherId":9904439,"projectId":9074683,"letterContent":"The supplies that you have provided will help my students stay motivated to learn all year long.

They are looking for the letters of their name and creating patterns with the buttons. Keeping toys fresh is so important for students of this age group. They are eager to learn and try new things.
