The moment they saw the boxes, they were ready to use them. There was lots of anticipation for the day that we planned to use them. One of my little girls told me she had always wanted to use that one that looks like a hairy magnet (bar with metal flakes). \r\n The magnets were not the only hit. The box sets were loved due to the materials included. There was a fossil and a magnifying glass that was used a lot during that center. From those materials, great conversations occurred. \r\n Once again, thank you for donating to the future of my kids.","fullyFundedDate":1757951315376,"projectUrl":"project/think-about-it/9564944/","projectTitle":"Think About It","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Horton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2940383"},{"teacherId":10166863,"projectId":9570831,"letterContent":"The first time the students saw the wobble stools and other seating, they were thrilled!
