Your kindness has transformed a corner of our room into a magical Listening Center.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just donate an audio player; you gave my students the gift of independent literacy, vocabulary, and deep focus.\r\n\r\nAt this stage, many kindergarteners are just starting to recognize letters. They want to experience long, complex stories they can't yet read on their own. The Yoto Player solves this beautifully. It's a screen-free system that allows them to take charge of their learning—they simply choose a card and the story begins.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our Listening Center is now an essential part of literacy time. Students are immersed in rich language, hearing fluent reading modeled out loud. This is helping them: build vocabulary and comprehension skills rapidly, develop listening stamina and focus on multi-chapter stories, and grow confidence as independent, self-directed learners.\r\n\r\nThis powerful center translates directly into early literacy success and nurtures a lifelong love for reading every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1755741896650,"projectUrl":"project/growing-kindergarten-readers-with-yoto-a/9521735/","projectTitle":"Growing Kindergarten Readers With Yoto Audiobooks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jaime","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4884382_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507679487869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tessa-jaime"},{"teacherId":4884382,"projectId":9511832,"letterContent":"On behalf of all my little learners, thank you, thank you! Your kindness has made our room the best place to learn. You didn't just donate boxes of supplies; you gave my students joy, discovery, and confidence.\r\n\r\nIn Kindergarten, learning is all about hands-on discovery—cutting, gluing, coloring, and building. If a child doesn't have their own strong set of crayons or a glue stick that works, it can make them feel left out or frustrated.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, every single student started the year with all of the necessary supplies. This simple gift translates directly into readiness to learn and a much happier classroom every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my students and classroom, and for making our year have a great start!","fullyFundedDate":1753916451169,"projectUrl":"project/beginning-of-the-year-essentials/9511832/","projectTitle":"Beginning of the Year Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jaime","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4884382_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507679487869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tessa-jaime"},{"teacherId":9584180,"projectId":9266681,"letterContent":"Since receiving these new resources, my students and I have been using them in many exciting ways. Markers, crayons, colored pencils, and paper have brought creativity to our lessons, allowing students to illustrate stories, create projects, and express ideas visually. Pencil boxes, social-emotional fidgets, and snacks help students manage their materials, focus, and energy throughout the day. Dry erase markers and charts make lessons interactive and engaging. The teacher's book organizer shelf and cleaning supplies help keep our classroom tidy and organized, so students can easily access materials and enjoy a welcoming learning space.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw these materials, their excitement was immediate! They eagerly explored the new art supplies, tried out the fidgets, and enjoyed having healthy snacks available. Their faces lit up as they realized how these tools would make learning more fun, manageable, and engaging. It was a joyful moment that reminded me how much thoughtful materials can enhance both learning and classroom community.\r\n\r\nNext, we are building on this excitement with projects that integrate creativity, responsibility, and social-emotional learning. Students will use the art supplies to illustrate stories and reflect on lessons, practice organization and care with their pencil boxes, and engage in activities using fidgets and charts to strengthen focus and emotional regulation. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, making each day of learning more meaningful and special.","fullyFundedDate":1746786207994,"projectUrl":"project/resources-for-rockstars/9266681/","projectTitle":"Resources for Rockstars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alvarado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9584180_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720204615420","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9584180"},{"teacherId":8576554,"projectId":8610218,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support in providing the Time for Kids readers.
