They were so excited to see all these new materials and they couldn't wait to start using them. \r\nBy exploring materials such as shells, rocks, wooden pieces, and bricks, they have shown increased creativity, problem solving skills, and curiosity. These open-ended materials have allowed them to experiment freely, think flexibly, and collaborate with their peers during play. Through building, sorting, and creating, they have strengthened their fine motor skills, communication, and confidence. \r\nThe loose parts will continue to inspired the children to take ownership of their learning and express their ideas in imaginative and meaningful ways.\r\nThank you so much for making this possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755665679989,"projectUrl":"project/with-loose-parts-play-we-will-have-a-wo/9569985/","projectTitle":"With Loose Parts Play, We Will Have a Wonderful Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Covinos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1159179_orig.jpg?crop=581,581,x46,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730757676699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1159179"},{"teacherId":1159179,"projectId":9171118,"letterContent":"My students' first reactions were curiosity and excitement. Every time we open a new package, they immediately gather around the table to see what it is. This time the package was big and that created more curiosity among them. \r\nAt first, they were trying to guess what the new material or toy was, next they started to ask questions about it. After listening to some directions on how to use the tuff tray, we brainstormed together on what kind of activities they would like to experienced with. Most of their answers were \"water\"!! of course! they experienced with water, colors and other materials. \r\nMy students were really engaged in all the activities we did using our Tuff tray. They were excited to try on their own and we had to use the timer, because everyone wanted to spend time here.\r\nThis school year, we will add sensory materials to the tuff tray, we will also incorporate loose parts to give our students opportunities to count, sort, and create patterns on their own. We are excited to continue planning hands on activities to encourage them to explore.","fullyFundedDate":1742485692582,"projectUrl":"project/senses-unleashed/9171118/","projectTitle":"Senses Unleashed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Covinos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1159179_orig.jpg?crop=581,581,x46,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730757676699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1159179"},{"teacherId":1795005,"projectId":6164468,"letterContent":"The light table is used daily in my classroom. The students enjoy building structures and experimenting with different configurations of the colorful manipulatives with friends. These are stimulating activities for developing math skills such as spatial relations, patterning, awareness of changes in quantity, and organization. It has benefits for knowledge of cause and effect. When placing the manipulatives on the table the students learn that the colors change and they can blend colors as well as how they can balance and combine different manipulatives to build a structure. In addition there are many opportunities for social emotional learning and practice because this is a two person activity and students need to negotiate sharing the materials and space at the table, and weather to work together or separately. The light table is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow together.","fullyFundedDate":1651861163836,"projectUrl":"project/light-us-up/6164468/","projectTitle":"Light US Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fleming","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1795005_orig.png?crop=321,321,x0,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1644717064538","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1795005"},{"teacherId":9004511,"projectId":8864586,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom with these basic supplies.

They were so excited to see new paints to color with and new art supplies to experiment with. New supplies get them excited about school and the opportunities they have for self-expression.\r\n Art is one of the ways our multi-lingual students can respond to lessons they have experienced. They can draw how a character feels, or how a situation makes them feel. When they investigate outdoors, they use art supplies to show what they saw and learned.\r\n As most of our students come from low-income backgrounds, school is a place of resources they don't otherwise have available.

They were really excited to make a bridge and to figure out how to make it stronger. These tools provide great opportunities for hands on learning and real engagement with the sciences. \r\n With these tools we can build concepts of support and strength in structures, whether they are a bridge or a tower for a princess.
