The students have been playing with the soccer balls daily, and it has been wonderful to see how it has benefited not just my class, but all fifth graders in our school. The increased engagement and joy during outdoor play have made a positive impact on their overall well-being and teamwork skills.\r\n\r\nWith basketball season underway, I've also noticed a significant uptick in the use of the basketballs, which has helped foster a healthy sense of competition and camaraderie among students. The cones have been especially useful during our flag football games—allowing us to create a proper field, which contributed to our team winning our games and ultimately the championship. Your support has truly made a difference in encouraging active, healthy lifestyles and building a strong sense of community among our students. Thank you for helping us get moving and making a lasting impact on their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1755699966733,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-moving/9361408/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Moving","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. G Davis-Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8431859_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651754024830","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8431859"},{"teacherId":8373901,"projectId":9201263,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations and creating a wonderful sensory friendly environment for not just my students with sensory seeking issues but for all of the children in our preschool programs.\r\n\r\nOur children look forward to going out to the playground area to play and jump on the jump-a-roo and use the balls as well as the bouncy sticks everyday. \r\n\r\nAs my students grow and learn how to take turns, regulate their emotions and share we have been so lucky to have your support.

The new resources have quickly become a favorite part of our daily routine. For example, during a recent small-group activity, students used the foam letters to build their names and match sounds to objects around the room. Not only did this strengthen fine motor skills, but it also sparked conversations about letters, words, and sharing ideas with friends.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' faces lit up with excitement! They couldn't wait to explore the colorful dough and foam letters, and many immediately began creating shapes, letters, and even \"pretend cupcakes.\" Their joy was contagious and set a wonderful tone for learning that day.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom now has fresh opportunities for both teacher-led lessons and independent exploration. Moving forward, we'll be using these resources in a community helpers project where students will design signs, labels, and small props to support our dramatic play center. This will give them another meaningful way to practice literacy and fine motor skills while connecting learning to real-world experiences.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has brought new energy and excitement to our classroom, and we are deeply grateful for your support.

The answer to this was no. Kosher Salt left what looked like squares, while the Epsom Salt left behind a snow like texture.
