Your contribution has enabled us to provide materials that make our science units more interactive and engaging for our students throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThis spring, the students will use the pipe cleaners and glitter to simulate caterpillars and explore the process of pollen transfer between flowers. Additionally, the thermometers have allowed students to practice reading temperatures and observe changes in water temperature, enhancing their hands-on learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe students have been enthusiastic about participating in these experiments, and they were particularly excited to see that there were sufficient materials for every student to engage fully, rather than only a few helpers. Your support has significantly enriched their learning opportunities and made science more accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nWe sincerely appreciate your generosity and the positive impact it has had on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758203511120,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science/9545197/","projectTitle":"Hands on Science","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6494860_orig.jpg?crop=456,456,x672,y81&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742419094804","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6494860"},{"teacherId":6494860,"projectId":9190760,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for the headphones. My students are truly loving having more available in the classroom—especially during times when they feel overwhelmed or want to work quietly in a peaceful space. It's been such a gift to see them have what they need right at their fingertips.\r\n\r\nThey were also so excited to choose a sensory sticker for their desks. Now, instead of having to leave their seats to look for something, they can ground themselves with that calming tactile touch whenever they're feeling anxious or just need a little support—especially during assessments. It has made such a difference in helping them stay focused and comfortable.\r\n\r\nAnd the foot fidgets—what a hit! I started with just two for some of my more active students, but now everyone is asking to take turns using them during independent work. They're quieter and more flexible than the desk bands since students can even use them if they move to a different seat, and it's been amazing to see how much they help with focus.\r\n\r\nThese tools are already making our classroom a calmer, more supportive place for all my learners. Thank you so much for helping me create an environment where every student can feel comfortable and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1746490260279,"projectUrl":"project/sensational-sensory/9190760/","projectTitle":"Sensational Sensory","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6494860_orig.jpg?crop=456,456,x672,y81&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742419094804","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6494860"},{"teacherId":9224738,"projectId":9301232,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

Your support has made a meaningful impact by allowing us to provide new outdoor recess toys for our students. Because of our extended winter season and short summers, outdoor playtime is especially precious. Thanks to your donations, our kids now have exciting new ways to enjoy that time while staying active and engaged.\r\n\r\nThe soccer balls have quickly become a favorite, encouraging our students not only to move their bodies but also to work together, practice teamwork, and solve problems cooperatively. The hula-hoops, jump ropes ,and ball skipping toys have added an energetic element to recess, helping our students stay heart healthy while having fun. Our new ball tossing game is also helping children improve their hand-eye coordination in a playful and encouraging way. The chalk helps students to be creative with their recess time.

Thanks to your donations, my students now have access to an incredible variety of materials, including chalk, paint, paintbrushes, paint dotters, playdough materials, and so much more. The joy on their faces when they first saw the supplies was priceless! They were so excited to dive right in, and it has been amazing to see their creativity come to life in ways we hadn't been able to explore before.\r\n\r\nWith these new materials, we've already started using them in hands-on learning projects. One of the most memorable moments so far was when my students experimented with mixing colors using paint dotters—watching them discover new shades and patterns was truly magical! They've also been using playdough tools to create letters, numbers, and imaginative sculptures, making learning even more engaging. These resources have not only fostered creativity but have also helped with fine motor skills and collaborative work among students.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to integrate these supplies into our daily activities, I am excited to see my students grow in confidence and artistic expression. Our next steps include creating a classroom mural where each student contributes their unique touch, turning our space into a reflection of their creativity and teamwork. None of this would have been possible without your generosity.
