Because of your kindness, my kindergarten students now have access to meaningful stories like Marshall Mellow, The Magical Yet, The Recess Queen, First Day of Kindergarten, and several other thoughtfully selected titles. \r\nThese books are already making a difference. Each story offers powerful messages about kindness, courage, and believing in yourself—exactly what my kindergarteners need as they begin their school journey. We have been using these books for classroom discussions and build community. We have become a classroom family. \r\nI've watched my students grow more confident, excited, and engaged during our read-aloud times. They are learning how to express their feelings and support one another. \r\nYour generosity is helping to make a strong emotional and academic foundation.\r\nThank you for investing in my students and in the power of books.

Your donations successfully funded the purchase of a brand-new incubator, which will bring a truly transformative, hands-on science lesson right into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are so excited to launch this project this spring. Your gift allows our students to witness the miracle of life firsthand as we embark on our chicken life cycle study. This isn't just about watching eggs; it's about deep, engaged learning. We will be studying the crucial parts of the egg and preparing for the big day when we can transfer them to the incubator.\r\n\r\nThe process itself is a complete lesson in science and patience. We will carefully learn that it takes 21 days for the eggs to hatch, and that they must be maintained at a precise temperature of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit to develop properly. The children will also participate in candling the eggs, using a light to observe the growth and development inside the shell—a truly awe-inspiring moment!\r\n\r\nBeyond the biology, this project offers profound lessons in responsibility and empathy. The students will learn what it takes to care for a fragile life, understanding the commitment required to keep the temperature and humidity stable in the incubator and, eventually, to look after the newly hatched chicks. This experience will solidify their understanding of the natural world and their role in protecting it.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this engaging and memorable educational opportunity possible. We can't wait to share pictures and updates of our little chicks with you this spring!","fullyFundedDate":1757032462017,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-hatch-in-kindergarten/9656528/","projectTitle":"Help Us Hatch in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bartoe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5249251_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521663186560","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5249251"},{"teacherId":9651067,"projectId":9566270,"letterContent":"Thank you for purchasing all the different books! I have a book for every season now. I place the books on my whiteboard for the books I am reading that week. The students love it! They get excited and make inferences on what it will be about. They love when I pair the book with the plush characters. Sometimes I even pretend the plush toy is speaking to make it more fun and engaging. The students love it! \r\nWhen I set my classroom up this year for fall it was a nice touch to have a better variety of fall books upfront for the students! As a 2nd year teacher in first grade thank you! This is encouraging my class to want to read books. They get exited each week for the new books! When the plushies are not being used I have them around the classroom near my classroom library. Students get excited to go back and read with a reading buddy.

I will use a lot of it during Christmas around the world. \r\n\r\nThese supplies help students engage in learning with hands on crafts! Parents love to see the work their students are doing.

I allowed every student in my class help build it. They loved to help build something they were going to use. It was such an engaging moment that was not planned. Those can be the best! \r\n\r\nOnce it was built they were asking so many great questions like \"where is my mail spot?\", \"how to the bins not fall out?\", \"what will be out in here\"? and \"We get to be the ones to use this?\" My class was excited that they could use this and put their own papers into their folders without me helping them. \r\n\r\nThe next thing I will do is assign a few helpers to have the job of delivering mail to the right slots. I love this because it gives another class job to a student who doesnt have one and gives more opportunities for responsibility and being a part of the community in the classroom.

They love it!\r\nSince incorporating these materials in our daily routings, I've observed a remarkable improvement in both student collaboration and understanding . By working in pairs, my students are able to tackle number bonds and addition facts more effectively. The dry erase boards encourages hands on learning, allowing them time mistakes, learn and try again without hesitation. \r\nHaving my students in small groups has strengthened their communication skills, as they discuss strategies and support one another in solving problems. \r\nThe dry erase Post-it notes have added another layer of versality, enabling us to post quick problem solving challenges around the classroom or create interactive math stations.
