Each magnetic tile and building piece you provide gives our students the chance to explore, create, and collaborate in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nIn our PreK classroom, magnetic building isn't just play — it's how children learn to problem-solve, communicate, and share ideas. With limited supplies, some students must wait or watch as others build. Your donation ensures that every child has the opportunity to take part, to design their own ideas, and to contribute to something larger than themselves.\r\n\r\nBy helping us expand our collection, you are helping students build confidence, teamwork, and imagination one tile at a time. You're showing them that their ideas matter and that their creativity deserves to be supported.\r\n\r\nThank you for making it possible for every child to see themselves as a builder, a thinker, and a valued member of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1756947987886,"projectUrl":"project/magnetic-wonders/9478072/","projectTitle":"Magnetic Wonders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hoerner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7950499_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651456153791","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lhoerner"},{"teacherId":7950499,"projectId":9057356,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our Recess Rally project has made a huge impact on our classroom! The new equipment and cart have completely transformed recess and PE time for my students.\r\n\r\nNow, instead of waiting or sitting out, every child has the chance to be active and involved. The variety of balls and supplies has encouraged new games and teamwork, and I've seen students who were once shy or hesitant join in with confidence. The organization cart makes it easy for us to get outside quickly, and the kids love helping set up and put things away — it's become part of their routine and responsibility.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, I've noticed that students come back from recess more focused, happier, and ready to learn. They are developing stronger social skills, problem-solving strategies, and of course, getting the physical activity they need each day. The joy on their faces during recess is proof that your gift is making a lasting difference.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students. Your kindness has created more than just play — you've given them opportunities for growth, laughter, and learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746786380157,"projectUrl":"project/recess-rally/9057356/","projectTitle":"Recess Rally","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hoerner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7950499_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651456153791","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lhoerner"},{"teacherId":7950499,"projectId":9287087,"letterContent":"Over the last few weeks students in my class have been exploring with their new gross motor items. They have loved getting to use the catch and throw ball items. It has helped them enhance their communication skills and coordination. When I showed them the giant tik tak toe board they got so excited that I had to set it up in the classroom for them to try it out during their free choice centers. They began communicating with one another and teaching each other how to play the game properly. I honestly can say that these items will not only help my students be more active but it will help grow their language skills as well.
