When the box arrived I left it on my back patio for a few weeks before finding the time to build it. During that time my students were so curious about what was inside the mystery box. When I finally built the table, they were so excited to have an outdoor space that they could do different activities instead of the ground. We have not had the best weather for outdoor activities but sunny days are coming and I know that the table will be put to good use this spring. We just planted seeds this week so I expect that the table will be a place for them to be able to write their observations about the growth of the plants. I also plan to use the table for water stations that have been done on the ground in the past since we did not have a space where students could stand and do work.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my project.","fullyFundedDate":1764785485497,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-learning-part-1/9925378/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Learning Part #1","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cattin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aluk"},{"teacherId":1216996,"projectId":9798014,"letterContent":"The children love the sand and water table.

Their favorites were dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Who Would Win books. They especially loved receiving hard back books to keep and enjoy.\r\nAnd finally last month, I shared books with our Emerging Bilingual Parent group. They took home books in Spanish and English to share with their families.
