The materials have made a meaningful impact on each of my students.\r\n\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources?\r\nThe new arts and crafts materials are used daily during small-group instruction and center-based activities to support fine motor development, creativity, and communication. During a recent project, students used construction paper, glue, and crayons to create artwork while learning the letters J and S, along with previously introduced letters and numbers up to five. As they worked, students practiced grasping tools, making choices, and expressing themselves—some through words and others through gestures and smiles. Moments like these show how the materials help build confidence and encourage learning through play.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nStudents were excited and eager when they first saw the new materials. They smiled, pointed, and were ready to begin creating right away. Their enthusiasm and curiosity filled the classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\nStudents will continue creating arts and crafts projects focused on numbers seven through ten, along with creative activities that support upcoming letter-of-the-week lessons and AMPLIFY curriculum projects.","fullyFundedDate":1758838467870,"projectUrl":"project/crafts-in-little-hands/9599453/","projectTitle":"Crafts in Little Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Levey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3497461_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x122,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686892586372","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cindy-levey"},{"teacherId":8647929,"projectId":9000299,"letterContent":"My students where beyond excited when our classroom received out new items.
