They also truly love the Nee Doh. \r\n\r\nI have gotten great use out of the TpT gift card, the ink, and the matte laminating pouches.

It has been so wonderful to have the supplies we needed for our preschool class as we started this school year. \r\nThe Pluffle was a huge hit in our sensory table. The children loved burying small buckets, blocks, animals, people and other items under it and watching as the pluffle slowly moved and fell away. \r\n\r\n The children have loved having a variety of colors of paint to use in their paintings. All of the large art on our walls is student driven, so they love being able to have different colors to use. They also love having new markers because we had run out of several colors.\r\n\r\nThe Yellow Door Rolling the Seasons is a welcome addition to our playdough center. Right now we have fall out, but will be adding the winter rollers this week. The students are sometimes amazed and surprised when the images on the rolls appear on their playdough. \r\n\r\nWe use the watercolors not only for painting, but also for dying rice for the sensory table, so the children got to have fun candy corn colored rice with pumpkins and other fun items for our week that we went to the pumpkin patch. We made pinatas and one of the classes wanted to use some of the fun gold paint on the pinata along with the new pink. We hadn't tried metallic watercolor paint on the pinatas because we usually use tempera paint, but it worked and the children were very excited about it. \r\n\r\nThe children also love using all the fun craft sticks for building and collage making and we use them in our small group time for counting, building, and making shapes. \r\nIn up coming days as we start our wind and water unit, we will be using the watercolors in our shaving cream rain cloud science, and some of the metallic watercolors will be used in the sensory table for a swirling marbled cloudy day experience. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for supplying our needs and making it possible for our children to get to experience and use a variety of art supplies.","fullyFundedDate":1746786042293,"projectUrl":"project/painting-pathways-to-our-imagination/9179649/","projectTitle":"Painting Pathways to Our Imagination","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Christine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6479202_orig.png?crop=256,256,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742257517244","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miss-christines-preschool"},{"teacherId":1769174,"projectId":9289747,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my project.

On their iPad's, they practice skills using Zearn for math and Amplify for reading.\r\n\r\nYour donation also allowed me to purchase folders and highlighters. I use the prong folders for homework folders and class folders. Student's homework folders include valuable resources for parents to use at home with their child. The class folders include pages we use daily during all subject areas like a writing template. We use the highlighters to highlight specific phonics patterns in our texts. \r\n\r\nMy students have loved having headphones that work so they can hear as they are actively participating with skills.

The flexible seating has given them more choice and comfort, which has truly boosted engagement, especially during small group work and independent reading.\r\n\r\nMarkers and dry-erase markers have helped bring creativity and collaboration to life. Whether we're solving math problems on whiteboards or working on group posters for science, students are actively participating and sharing their thinking with confidence.
