These name badges have been extremely helpful and meaningful in our classroom.\r\nAt the beginning of the school year, the name badges played an important role in helping students learn each other's names and feel more comfortable as part of our classroom community. They supported social connections and helped create a welcoming learning environment.\r\nWe also use the name badges when meeting with our art teacher outside of the classroom and during field trips. Having the badges allows students to be easily identified, helps adults support them more effectively, and gives students an added sense of safety and confidence when they are outside our classroom.\r\nWe will continue to use the name badges throughout the school year, making them a lasting and valuable resource for our students. Your thoughtful donation has positively impacted our classroom by supporting community building, safety, and student confidence.\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1755521800608,"projectUrl":"project/my-own-name-badge/9515914/","projectTitle":"My Own Name Badge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ornelas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3113626_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472917891112","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/noraornelas"},{"teacherId":3113626,"projectId":9515860,"letterContent":"We would like to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of the jumbo crayons and construction paper to our kindergarten classroom. These materials have made a wonderful difference in our students' daily learning experiences.\r\nThe jumbo crayons have been especially helpful in supporting the development of fine motor skills. Their wider shape is the perfect size for young hands, allowing students to grip them comfortably and with confidence. As a result, our students feel more successful and motivated when coloring, drawing, and expressing themselves through art.\r\nThe construction paper, paired with the crayons, has encouraged creativity and imagination. Our kindergarteners are now confidently drawing animals, landscapes, rainbows, plants, and many other creative ideas. These art activities not only support creativity but also help strengthen hand muscles, coordination, and self-expression.\r\nYour generosity has had a positive impact on our students by building their confidence, supporting skill development, and fostering a love for learning and creativity. We are truly grateful for your support and for helping us provide meaningful learning opportunities for our kindergarteners.","fullyFundedDate":1755210297023,"projectUrl":"project/crayons-are-a-basic-need-in-kindergarten/9515860/","projectTitle":"Crayons Are a Basic Need in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ornelas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3113626_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472917891112","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/noraornelas"},{"teacherId":3113626,"projectId":9623308,"letterContent":"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of the bookcase on wheels to our kindergarten classroom. It has quickly become an important and much-loved part of our daily learning environment.\r\nOur students use the bookcase to easily access books during reading time, and it also serves as a practical space to store toys and hands-on manipulatives. The child-friendly height allows students to independently find and return materials, which has encouraged responsibility, organization, and confidence in the classroom.\r\nThe mobility of the bookcase has been especially helpful, as it allows us to adapt our space to different learning activities throughout the day. Most importantly, our students love it. They enjoy having a dedicated place where they can explore books and educational toys, which has increased their engagement, independence, and excitement for learning.\r\nYour generosity has made a positive and lasting impact on our classroom, supporting both academic growth and social-emotional development.
