They couldn't stop smiling, giggling, and twirling around. For many of my students, this was their very first time putting on something that symbolizes accomplishment and pride. Seeing them look in the mirror and recognize themselves as \"big kids\" ready for the next step was incredibly moving.\r\n\r\nWe used the caps and gowns for our graduation photo day, and it turned into such a meaningful experience. Students practiced walking in a \"mini ceremony,\" received pretend diplomas, and posed for pictures that captured their excitement and confidence. These photos will be framed and gifted to families as a keepsake—a reminder of how much their children have grown in just one year. Parents were deeply touched and shared how proud they were to see their child celebrated in this way.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, this project created not just a photo opportunity, but a powerful memory. My students now associate learning and effort with celebration and pride. They understand that their hard work matters, and they left kindergarten feeling inspired to continue dreaming big as they move into first grade and beyond. This experience planted a seed of confidence that I know will carry them through their future school years.","fullyFundedDate":1746786126425,"projectUrl":"project/little-grads-big-dreams/9261755/","projectTitle":"Little Grads, Big Dreams","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9082400_orig.jpg?crop=2735,2735,x0,y337&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692654968719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mslopezkinderwonderland"},{"teacherId":9082400,"projectId":9261816,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, From Kinder to Big Dreams: Oh, the Places They'll Go! Your generosity helped us provide each of our kindergarten students with a meaningful, lasting gift—a book they can take home and treasure as a keepsake from their first year of school. These books aren't just stories; they're reminders of how far our students have come and how far they can go.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is at the heart of everything we do. We gather together daily for read-alouds and discussions that build comprehension skills, vocabulary, and a love for stories. These new books introduced lessons on resilience, curiosity, and dreaming big—perfect themes for students preparing to take their next steps beyond kindergarten. Each child received a personal copy with a special note from me, their teacher, encouraging them to always believe in themselves and their dreams.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on their faces when they realized the books were theirs to keep was unforgettable. One student hugged his copy and said, \"I'm going to read this with my brother every night!\" Another proudly announced she would keep hers forever \"because it's from my teacher.\" These moments show just how much of an impact your support made—not just academically, but emotionally, too.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our students are ending the year with confidence, joy, and a tangible reminder that they are readers, dreamers, and deeply loved. Your kindness has given them a beautiful gift to carry into the future—and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746786145626,"projectUrl":"project/from-kinder-to-big-dreams-oh-the-place/9261816/","projectTitle":"From Kinder to Big Dreams: Oh, the Places They’ll Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9082400_orig.jpg?crop=2735,2735,x0,y337&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692654968719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mslopezkinderwonderland"},{"teacherId":9082400,"projectId":9261695,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"We Spread Kindness, Not Germs\" project!
