Your donation has brought so much excitement, curiosity, and joy to our classroom. \r\n\r\nIn Pre-K, learning begins with hands-on experiences. My students are just starting to recognize letters, form words, and understand how stories work. The literacy materials you provided make that learning process fun and meaningful. The alphabet toys help children match letters with sounds, spell simple words, and recognize the letters in their names. The writing tools encourage them to practice tracing, drawing, and forming letters, building both fine motor skills and confidence. The best part is that they don't even realize how much they're learning because they're having so much fun doing it! \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for making such a powerful impact. Your support has brought literacy to life in our classroom and helped create a foundation for lifelong learning. I am deeply grateful for your generosity, and I can't wait to see how far these young learners will go with the skills they're building today—all thanks to you.","fullyFundedDate":1752760738328,"projectUrl":"project/building-early-literacy-through-play/9463749/","projectTitle":"Building Early Literacy Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huerta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8072388_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736208485027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-a-huerta"},{"teacherId":8072388,"projectId":9399813,"letterContent":"Your donation didn't just provide new seating, it created a learning environment where students feel valued, trusted, and respected. The impact of that cannot be overstated. When students feel comfortable and supported, they are more confident to take risks, ask questions, and express themselves. You have helped make that possible.\r\n\r\nI am especially grateful because projects like this one often go beyond what school budgets can provide. Donors like you help teachers create classrooms that meet students where they are — academically, socially, and emotionally. It's a reminder that we are not alone in this important work. Knowing there are people like you who believe in the power of education and want to help children succeed makes a world of difference.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in our classroom, for supporting my students, and for helping us make this dream a reality. Your kindness and generosity will continue to inspire us throughout the school year. Every time a student settles into a new seat, finds their focus, and smiles while learning, it's because of you.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful impact on our classroom and our community.","fullyFundedDate":1752503954439,"projectUrl":"project/sit-wiggle-learn/9399813/","projectTitle":"Sit, Wiggle, Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huerta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8072388_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736208485027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-a-huerta"},{"teacherId":8072388,"projectId":9628086,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our cheerleaders are able to shine brighter than ever!
