Your generosity has provided my students with hands-on materials that they are already using to learn, create, communicate, and build independence. My ESN students learn best when they can interact with materials and have opportunities to learn through doing. The Crayola washable paints and no-spill paint cups have been especially exciting for our classroom. Students have been able to participate in art activities while practicing fine-motor skills, following directions, making choices, and expressing their creativity. The no-spill cups have also made it easier for my students to participate more independently and safely during art activities.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was seeing my students' excitement when they were able to use the new art materials themselves. Something as simple as choosing a paint color, dipping a brush into their own cup, and creating their own artwork gave them an opportunity to practice independence while having fun. We have also been using the EXPO markers during classroom activities, including responding to questions and practicing academic skills on our whiteboard. These materials help make learning more interactive and give my students additional ways to participate, especially for students who benefit from visual and hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue incorporating these materials into our daily lessons. We will use the art supplies for creative projects connected to our academic and social-emotional lessons, while continuing to practice communication, fine-motor skills, following multi-step directions, and making independent choices. The other materials from this project will also continue supporting literacy, sensory regulation, flexible seating, and hands-on learning throughout the school year. Your support has helped create a classroom where my students can feel successful, engaged, and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and helping us create a classroom filled with opportunities to learn and grow!","fullyFundedDate":1782013972556,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-calm-creative-esn-classroom/10246689/","projectTitle":"Creating a Calm & Creative Esn Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9208972"},{"teacherId":10483553,"projectId":10208813,"letterContent":"I just wanted to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you for donating our beautiful classroom rug! 🥹🩷 I truly cannot put into words how much of an impact this rug has already had on my students and our classroom. When I first saw it, I knew it would be a wonderful addition to our classroom, but I never imagined how quickly it would become such an important and special part of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nThis rug has become the heart of our classroom. Every day, my students gather together on it to listen to stories, participate in morning meetings, have class discussions, learn new songs, and enjoy music activities with our instruments. 📚🎶 We use it for movement activities, learning games, group activities, and so many of our daily lessons. It has given us a comfortable and inviting space where everyone can come together, learn, and share experiences.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things about the rug is watching my students choose their favorite smiley face to sit on. 😊 They get so excited about the different faces, and it is such a simple thing that brings so many smiles to their little faces. Sometimes I look around during story time or music and see all of my students sitting on their smiley faces, engaged and happy, and it reminds me how meaningful even the smallest classroom additions can be.\r\n\r\nThe rug has also helped create a stronger sense of community in our classroom. In TK, so much of our learning happens through connection, play, movement, and being together. Having a special space where we can all gather has helped my students practice listening to one another, taking turns, participating in group activities, and feeling like they truly belong. It has become a place where friendships are growing, confidence is building, and so many memories are being made.\r\n\r\nIt has also made our classroom feel warmer, happier, and more welcoming. A classroom rug may seem like a simple item, but for young children, having a comfortable, colorful space where they can gather makes such a difference. It has transformed an area of our classroom into a place where my students can learn, laugh, sing, listen, move, and feel safe and comfortable.\r\n\r\nI am so incredibly grateful that you chose to support my classroom and my students. Your generosity has directly impacted their everyday school experience and has helped me create a classroom environment where they feel happy, loved, welcomed, and excited to learn. \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make our classroom such a special place. Every time we gather on this rug, I will think of your kindness and the difference you made for our classroom family. You gave us much more than a rug—you gave us a special place to learn, grow, connect, and make beautiful memories together. Your generosity will be appreciated every single day. 🩷","fullyFundedDate":1781104900197,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-rug/10208813/","projectTitle":"Classroom Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10483553_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777073411601","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10483553"},{"teacherId":5704983,"projectId":10246756,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our kindergarten classroom!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom now has a beautiful new rug that has quickly become the heart of our learning space.

Something as simple as a scented marker has helped turn writing practice into an experience they look forward to.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we are building stronger early writing habits while also fostering creativity and confidence. Our next step is continuing to grow from simple sentences to more detailed stories as the year progresses.
