The excitement on the children's faces when they walked in and saw the new chairs was unforgettable - they were very eager to try them out! These chairs have quickly become an essential part of our morning meeting routine, helping to create a warm and welcoming space where every child can feel comfortable, grounded, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the floor chairs, I have seen an increase in student engagement and focus. Students who usually struggle to sit still or stay attentive now have the support they need to participate meaningfully. The chairs have truly helped make our morning meetings more inclusive and responsive to individual needs. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real and immediate difference for my students. Thank you for investing in our classroom and for believing in the power of small changes to create big impact.

Towards the end of the year another classroom gifted us a Cricut Machine, I was very excited to use it but did not have any materials to cut more than paper. That is why this project came to be. These accessories further allowed us to start to personalize items in the classroom as well as organize our play toys and learning materials.\r\n\r\nWe used the heat press to make personalized bags for our end of year activities and with the shirts we spent a day making them tie dye for our Field Trip. The kids were so excited not only to be on the Field Trip but also to be matching the rest of the class. This would not have been possible without your generous support. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your dedication to education.","fullyFundedDate":1746787022023,"projectUrl":"project/cutting-edge-creativity/9164606/","projectTitle":"Cutting Edge Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6857924_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x233,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1573414095506","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6857924"},{"teacherId":6857924,"projectId":8791010,"letterContent":"To say our class was excited for this project to come to fruition would be an understatement. Over the past three months we have been able to change our new dramatic play area into an Ice Cream Parlor in January, Post Office in February, and a Camp Store in March. We plan on opening a Veterinary Clinic in a few days for April. Dramatic play is an integral part of early childhood education and these materials are offering all students a rich and immersive environment to practice language acquisition, life skills, and social development.\r\nDue to a shipping mishap, we were also provided additional funds to order replacement items which was able to positively transform the layout and flow of our room. Everyone who has come into our room has been astonished on the transformation. This would never have been possible without your help.
