Because of your kindness, our classroom has been transformed into a place where stories truly come to life—and so have our students.\r\n\r\nThrough the use of puppets during storytelling, our children have gained a powerful new way to connect with language. Puppets quickly became more than just learning tools; they became trusted \"friends\" that helped children feel comfortable expressing themselves. Students who were once quiet began speaking with confidence, retelling stories, asking questions, and using new vocabulary in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe puppets allowed stories to be interactive and engaging. Children listened more closely, participated more eagerly, and showed a deeper understanding of characters, emotions, and story sequence. We observed growth not only in language and literacy skills, but also in social-emotional development. Students practiced turn-taking, empathy, and cooperation as they worked together to bring stories to life.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most meaningful impact was seeing the joy on our students' faces. Storytime became something they looked forward to every day. Their excitement for reading and storytelling has grown, laying a strong foundation for future learning and a lifelong love of books.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a lasting difference. You gave our students more than materials—you gave them confidence, creativity, and a voice. We are deeply grateful for your support and for believing in the potential of our children.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1760693779853,"projectUrl":"project/puppet-time/9641477/","projectTitle":"Puppet Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Donis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8862082_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673114400414","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8862082"},{"teacherId":7231245,"projectId":9819905,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing our preschool classroom with exciting new materials such as the magnetic alphabet fishing game, counters with tongs, and crazy magnetic shape toys!
