Your contribution has helped shape these little minds by allowing them to explore and experience various modes of learning in school. The tablets have brought such an impact in new technology, teaching them letters, sounds, numbers and even reading. They have made it available for us to differentiate our instruction according to each student's needs. It is so exciting to watch them laugh and get excited with each new skill they acquire.\r\nThe House Keeping supplies have fostered their ability to pretend, share, and engage in social skills. Some students have really opened up and more willing to socialize since we received our new materials. They role play, and their imaginations are endless. \r\nThe STEM items and magnetic tiles/blocks have truly kept our children engaged in their centers. They are sharing ideas with each other and using problem solving skills to create new projects. All the donated items have brought so much to this little classroom, and it is so much fun watching them learn through play. Thank you again for your generous donations. This could not have happened without you. You have greatly made a difference in our littlest learners.","fullyFundedDate":1758852350210,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-is-excited-to-learn-and-explore/9676649/","projectTitle":"Pre-K is Excited to Learn and Explore","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Inman and Ms. Cole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4528831_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757355258423","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisainman"},{"teacherId":5472051,"projectId":5576610,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support.
