They were beyond excited and ready to dive right in.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies you provided have become a daily favorite during center time. Because my students learn best through hands-on experiences, these materials give them wonderful opportunities to express themselves and build independence. Our pretend-play market has also been an incredible hit. I'm able to switch it out each week to match our classroom theme, and it has quickly become a space where their imaginations and social skills truly shine—especially on \"restaurant\" days!\r\n\r\nWe've recently begun introducing writing through drawing, so the art materials will be especially valuable as students begin telling their own stories. There is so much more we'll be able to explore and create thanks to your generosity, and we are all so deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1757447716327,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-drama-and-art-initiative/9641943/","projectTitle":"Pre-K Drama and Art Initiative","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6295866"},{"teacherId":8825932,"projectId":9392866,"letterContent":"I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity in funding my grant for five round tables for my 3rd grade classroom. Your kindness has truly transformed our learning space, and the impact is already being felt every single day.\r\nBefore we had the round tables, our room felt crowded and rigid. The old desks limited how much space the students had and often made group work challenging. With the arrival of the round tables, they make the learning environment feel welcoming and open. \r\nOne of the most incredible changes has been the way collaboration has blossomed.","fullyFundedDate":1753377297569,"projectUrl":"project/sitting-round-in-third-grade/9392866/","projectTitle":"Sitting “Round” in Third Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Merrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8825932"},{"teacherId":8824315,"projectId":8701310,"letterContent":"When my students walked into the classroom and saw the new round tables set up for the first time, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. They immediately noticed how different the room felt—more open, inviting, and collaborative. One student even exclaimed, \"It looks like a real team space now!\" These tables have completely transformed the way we work together in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe use them daily for group work, partner activities, and small-group instruction. During a recent writing project, students gathered naturally into their table groups to brainstorm and share ideas, which led to richer conversations and stronger writing. The round tables have encouraged more peer-to-peer interaction and a true sense of classroom community. It's easier for me to circulate, check in, and support students in a more fluid and engaging way.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have a learning environment that reflects the way they learn best—together. These tables are helping us build stronger communication skills, increase engagement, and foster a sense of belonging. I am so grateful for your support in creating a space that truly meets the needs of young learners.
