We are using it as a hands-on learning tool during our Letter and Name Building Project. Students use Play-Doh to form letters, practice recognizing the letters in their names, and strengthen their fine-motor skills while learning through play.\r\n\r\nThe Play-Doh has made our lessons more interactive and engaging because students are able to touch, create, and practice what they are learning. Our next step is to use these materials as we continue practicing letter recognition and beginning sounds, giving students more opportunities to build, create, and show what they know in a fun way.","fullyFundedDate":1780855765115,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-lopez/10129478/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Lopez","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10455968_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783897842068","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10455968"},{"teacherId":10459229,"projectId":10136030,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students, and teachers, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of school supplies. Your kindness and support mean so much to us and will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.\r\n\r\nEvery school supply you donated represents more than just an item. These supplies give our students the tools they need to learn, participate, and feel prepared for success in the classroom. For some students and families, the cost of school supplies can be a significant challenge. Your generosity helps remove that burden and ensures that our students can begin the school year with confidence and dignity.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students will have the materials they need to complete assignments, work on projects, and explore new ideas. Having the right supplies may seem like a small thing, but it can have a tremendous impact on a child's ability to focus and fully participate in learning.\r\n\r\nWe are especially grateful that you chose to invest in our students and their education. Your donation sends a powerful message to our children: that their education matters, that their dreams are important, and that their community believes in them. Your generosity reminds our students that they are supported by people who care about their future.\r\n\r\nWe also want you to know that your contribution extends beyond the supplies themselves. Your kindness inspires our students to appreciate the importance of giving, helping others, and being part of a caring community. Your example teaches a valuable lesson that generosity can make a difference, one student and one classroom at a time.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our class and for helping us create a positive learning environment for every student. We are truly grateful for your partnership and for the opportunity to work together to support the educational journey of our children.\r\n\r\nYour generosity will be remembered and appreciated throughout the school year. We hope you know how much your support is valued and how many students will benefit from your thoughtful contribution.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to our students. We are deeply grateful for your support and for helping our children have the resources they need to learn, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1774963630507,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/10136030/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Andrade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10459229"},{"teacherId":9707519,"projectId":10131345,"letterContent":"The books we received became an essential part of our daily learning (throughout the rest of the school year) and showed my TK students the importance of important early literacy, social-emotional, and language development skills. Through these stories, my students are learning letter recognition, print awareness, sequencing, making predictions, retelling stories, identifying characters and settings, and expanding their vocabulary. Books like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom help reinforce alphabet knowledge, while Elephant & Piggie stories encourage expressive reading, friendship, and problem-solving. \r\n\r\nReading is one of the most important parts of my students' day. We gather together for interactive read-alouds where students ask questions, make predictions, act out parts of the story, and discuss the characters' feelings and actions. The giant magnetic lined paper and magnetic letters have made these lessons even more engaging by allowing us to practice letter formation, build words together, and connect reading with writing in a hands-on way. My students especially love revisiting favorite stories during independent reading and literacy centers, where they enthusiastically retell familiar books using the pictures and repeated text.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were initially hesitant to participate during story time became some of my most enthusiastic readers. The repetitive language in the books gave them the confidence to join in, while seasonal favorites like How to Catch a Gingerbread Man, The Gingerbread Girl, The Leaf Thief, and Bear Can't Sleep kept them excited and eager to learn throughout the year. These books helped foster a genuine love of reading in my classroom, and I am incredibly grateful to our donors for providing resources that will last me many, many years.","fullyFundedDate":1773198765467,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-a-love-for-reading/10131345/","projectTitle":"Fueling a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9707519_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784806123887","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9707519"},{"teacherId":9707519,"projectId":10067419,"letterContent":"As soon as we received the liquid glue, we began incorporating arts and crafts into our classroom every week. My students quickly adjusted to using liquid glue with q-tips instead of glue sticks, making projects much easier and FASTER to complete. They were able to finish their work more efficiently and were excited to take their creations home to share with their families.\r\n\r\nReceiving individual art palettes and paintbrushes sized just for my students made art time even more special. They were thrilled to have their own painting supplies, and they especially enjoyed using them to create artwork for our Open House. It was wonderful to see them proudly share their paintings with their parents.\r\n\r\nI was also incredibly proud of how responsible my students were with their classroom materials. They took great care of their crayons, and because so few were broken, I'll be able to reuse many of them this school year.

I wish I had taken before-and-after pictures to show the transformation. My shelves were nearly empty, and now they are filled with the materials my students need to learn and grow. It brings me so much joy to organize everything and plan where each item will go. I truly can't thank you enough. Because these materials can be reused year after year, I feel much more prepared and confident going into this school year and future ones.\r\nThe pocket chairs have made a tremendous difference in my classroom. They help my students recognize their names, build independence, and develop responsibility by taking care of their own materials. The new scissors have also been a huge improvement. At the beginning of the school year, we only had plastic scissors, which wore out quickly. Many students struggled with cutting for months because they simply didn't have tools that worked well.\r\nI also have an aide in my TK classroom who often found it difficult to assist because she didn't have her own stapler or scissors. Receiving an extra stapler was incredibly exciting for us because we no longer have to borrow supplies from our colleagues. Having the right tools readily available has made our classroom more efficient and has allowed us to better support our students every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for your help with my materials. I could not have afforded this all without you.","fullyFundedDate":1770846640710,"projectUrl":"project/teacher-survival-tools/10025591/","projectTitle":"Teacher Survival Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9707519_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784806123887","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9707519"},{"teacherId":9707519,"projectId":9734806,"letterContent":"My students use their nap mats almost every day during nap and rest time.
