The art drying rack has become a very useful resource in my classroom for storing and organizing student crafts. We have already used the art rack for several beginning of the year activities, including an apple name craft and letting tracing activity using confetti. Having a designated space to place student artwork as it dries has made it easier to keep our classroom organized and prevent their artwork from being misplaced or ruined. It has truly been a useful resource as it is a special place to store artwork.\r\n\r\nThe hundreds chart has also been a valuable tool in our classroom by giving students an opportunity to practice counting and number recognition each day. Many of my kindergarten students are still developing their ability to count and recognize numbers. Having this resource available for daily practice has been very helpful.\r\n\r\nEach piece I have received in \"Let's Learn and Play\" has brought value to our classroom and provided my students with additional opportunities to learn, create, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1778954241117,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-and-play/10277274/","projectTitle":"Let’s Learn and Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Saldivar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10483067"},{"teacherId":10483067,"projectId":10207050,"letterContent":"I am incredibly thankful for each donation that has helped me build and organize my classroom!

The \"All About Letter ___\" pocket chart has been a useful resource, allowing me to easily display our letter of the week so students can refer back to it throughout the week.\r\n\r\nOther materials, such as Lysol and dry erase wipes, have helped me maintain a clean environment for my students.

This gift has already made such a meaningful impact on my students and the way we learn each day. In TK, everything is hands-on, active, and filled with excitement, and having durable learning materials allows my students to explore, practice, and learn without worrying about materials tearing or wearing out. We use name practice cards, alphabet activities, math mats, fine motor activities, visual schedules, and learning center games every day, and being able to laminate these resources has helped bring them to life in our classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest benefits has been seeing my students become more independent and confident learners. They can use dry-erase markers to practice their names, letters, numbers, and other important skills again and again. The ability to reuse these materials provides the repetition young learners need while also helping us make the most of our classroom resources. My students love being able to touch, move, practice, and try again, and their excitement for learning is truly contagious.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in the youngest learners at our school. Your generosity has helped create meaningful, engaging learning experiences and has given my students materials that will continue to support their growth throughout the year.

Because of your generosity, my kindergarten students now have so many new materials to use during developmental play. The excitement on their faces when they first saw all of the new items was so special. They immediately wanted to explore, create, and play together. These resources have helped make developmental play a part of our day that my students truly look forward to.\r\n\r\nDevelopmental play is so much more than just play in our classroom. While my students are building, creating, pretending, and exploring, they are also learning how to communicate, share, problem-solve, take turns, and work through disagreements with their peers. At this age, these experiences are such an important part of learning and help my students build confidence, friendships, independence, and social-emotional skills.\r\n\r\nThanks to this project, my students will continue to have opportunities to learn through hands-on, meaningful play throughout the school year. These materials will be loved and used by my current students as well as many future classes of kindergarteners.

They are keeping their reading projects, math projects, and their three types of writing—narrative, informational, and opinion—in these binders. One of my favorite moments was when students began placing their work inside and flipping through the pages. They were so excited to see how much they have already accomplished this year. It really helped them feel proud of their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the binders, they were thrilled. Many of them immediately started looking through their work and talking about their favorite assignments. They loved seeing everything together and quickly began asking when they would be able to share them. They can't wait to show their binders to their families at Open House and are also excited about eventually taking them home to keep.\r\n\r\nWe will continue adding to the binders throughout the year, especially with our monthly reading projects. Right now, students are working on a National Park research report. They are researching a park, learning interesting facts, and organizing their information into a report.
