The excitement in my TK room was instant—one student even shouted, \"Is this for US?!\" as if we'd won the art lottery.\r\nThe impact has been incredible. When my students first started painting this year, their goal was simply to cover the entire page with paint. Now? They're creating real pictures with real meaning and proudly explaining them to me. I've heard:\r\n\r\n\"This is my mom, my dad, and my baby.\"\r\n\r\n\"This is a rainbow.\"\r\n\r\n\"I made a beach!\"\r\n\r\nAnd my personal favorite: \"This is you, Ms. Hughes.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nTheir artwork is becoming more detailed, more intentional, and so much more expressive. They're building fine motor strength, learning to share space and materials, and gaining confidence every time they step up to the easel.\r\nThe easel has also become a calming place for several students—a quiet spot where painting helps them regulate and rejoin learning with a settled mind.\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide a tool... it created a space for creativity, storytelling, emotional expression, and joy. Thank you for believing in my students and helping their little artist hearts shine.","fullyFundedDate":1758831444102,"projectUrl":"project/fearless-little-creators-an-easel-for-t/9714528/","projectTitle":"Fearless Little Creators: An Easel for TK Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hughes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1414264_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560315238789","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-s-hughes"},{"teacherId":9319141,"projectId":9104343,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) project has made a huge impact on my students! These new resources have given us tools and strategies to help students navigate their emotions and work through challenging situations. Whether they're learning how to calm down after a disagreement, express their feelings, or build positive relationships, these materials have been a perfect fit for our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe first time my students saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement! They thought everything was so cool and cute, and they couldn't wait to dive in and start using them. It's been amazing to see them engage with the activities and apply what they're learning to real-life situations, both inside and outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite moments so far was working on a \"Feelings Check-In\" board, where students could identify how they were feeling at the start of the day and practice coping strategies when needed. It's helped us create a safe and supportive classroom environment where students feel comfortable sharing and problem-solving together.\r\n\r\nNext up, we're working on a kindness and empathy project, where students will role-play different scenarios and practice what to say and do to support a friend who's having a tough day. These skills will help them build strong friendships and better manage conflicts as they arise.\r\n\r\nWe couldn't have done this without you — thank you for helping us build a classroom full of empathy, resilience, and understanding!","fullyFundedDate":1740187384772,"projectUrl":"project/building-emotional-resilience-through-st/9104343/","projectTitle":"Building Emotional Resilience Through Stories & Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kleinschmidt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9319141"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55847","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":536,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":55847,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Red Hawk Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Red Hawk Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/temecula-valley-unified-school-district/red-hawk-elementary-school/55847"}
