Happy TKers and happier educators. \r\n\r\nWe cannot wait to begin to utilize these easels in our outdoor learning environment. Unfortunately, we have yet to try them outside due to cumbersome rainstorms popping up around Southern California. With newsprint on the way, our days will be filled washable paint and marker opportunities to create with friends.","fullyFundedDate":1790048249580,"projectUrl":"project/art-art-and-away/10558944/","projectTitle":"Art, Art and Away!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Saunders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10365439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764639847702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mssaundersteaches"},{"teacherId":10365439,"projectId":10558856,"letterContent":"Thank you for all your support in this project.
