Our class received a special delivery today at the end of our morning meeting. We talked about what we thought might be in the box and anticipation was high. I had not yet shared what was arriving with my class but told them to be on the lookout for something special!\r\n\r\nAfter the class finished lunch we pulled out our delivery and got right to opening our box. The students helped open and remove the packing materials and found our beautiful electric blue ukulele! All of our students got the chance to strum and found it to be easier to play (although quieter) than our class ukuleles. We had a blast unboxing! \r\n\r\nMy students were engaged and actively participating within minutes. It's always gratifying as an educator to see your students excited about new educational materials, especially right out of the box. We are looking forward to all of the new ways we can explore with this instrument. \r\nThanks again for all of your support for this group of students.

We only unpacked and assembled our new Lakeshore sensory table during the first 2 weeks of August, and it already has gotten so much use!\r\n\r\nThis year, my campus is home to both general education and ASD TK classrooms. When I wrote this project at the end of last school year, I did not know we would have a new program joining us. This sensory table has been such an amazing addition to our outdoor playtime, and ALL the students have loved engaging in water play...especially in the hot Northern California summer that is still going strong. The weather has regularly been 90+ degrees since starting school, and my students regularly ask for the water table, complete with funnels, cups for pouring, and floating rubber duckies for collecting, counting, and sorting.\r\n\r\nUsing this sensory table for water play is just the beginning. I can't wait to see what other uses we can plan for our curious explorers.\r\n\r\nMahalo nui loa,","fullyFundedDate":1778596314419,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-sensory-fun-in-the-sun/10209324/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Sensory Fun in the Sun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pieper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1644178_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753106345250","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missuspieper"},{"teacherId":1644178,"projectId":9680014,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of this project and my kiddos! \r\n\r\nMy students are absolutely loving all the new pretend play items we received. A few days a week, they get to engage in \"free choice\" time, and nearly all of my students want to be in the kitchen and costume space in our classroom. The toaster, complete with velcro butter, has been served over and over again, as the students act out running a restaurant. They also love asking any and every adult that comes through the room if they would like a piece of cake, and serve it up on a plate. Not only are the students having fun, they're practicing their speaking and listening skills, turn-taking, and problem-solving strategies when things don't go just as they want.\r\n\r\nAn art easel and watercolor paints have allowed me to set up an open-ended art center.

Using the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I was able to purchase multiple resources for my students to use right now, and for many more groups of TK students to utilize in the years to come. \r\n\r\nMy favorite resource was a Name Craft Bundle that allows me to simply edit the file with my students names, print, and have meaningful name, coloring, cutting and gluing practice for my students to work on each week. The crafts are themed, which makes aligning the projects to the season or holiday of the month and easy and fun! Most recently, my students made leprechauns and bunny rabbits, and proudly hung them in our classroom right before our family night.\r\n\r\nIn addition, this project funded color printer ink, cardstock, and laminating sheets. I was able to prep new tasks cards for our small group table centers and give them a nice refresh, just in time for spring! My students are able to continue practicing skills like tracing, matching, sorting, and alphabet knowledge with new cards that renew their interest.","fullyFundedDate":1767875637650,"projectUrl":"project/meeting-our-tk-needs-with-tpt/9920822/","projectTitle":"Meeting Our TK Needs with TPT!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pieper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1644178_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753106345250","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missuspieper"},{"teacherId":1644178,"projectId":9586577,"letterContent":"I am so incredibly thankful for your donations and support of my new classroom.
