Your generosity provided essential materials - whiteboard dry erasers, scissors, glue sticks, organizing bins, play-doh, kitchen utensils for our dramatic play area, and a cosy rug for our library corner - into our kindergarten classroom. \r\nThese items have been in use and are making a huge difference. The shaggy microfiber erasers are in use every day during our letter formation block, and it has become our favorite whole group activity. Play-doh used during centers strengthens fine motor skills through creative play, and the kitchen utensils and foods inspire imagination and cooperation; they are also great for implementing sorting and counting-math concepts. Our new washable library rug adds a warm and inviting spot where my students love to read books, and one student even uses the rug to lay down when she feels overwhelmed. \r\nThanks to you, our classroom is more comfortable, engaging, and joyful. Thank you for helping my students to learn and grow in a space that supports them. Thank you for helping me to create the classroom where I feel organized and able to bring meaningful experiences to my young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1755723384630,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-caring-and-engaging-kindergar/9628020/","projectTitle":"Building a Caring and Engaging Kindergarten Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ponder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5129318_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755687152860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5129318"},{"teacherId":4079094,"projectId":9583498,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, Building Early Math Skills.

The projector was a game-changer for us. We were able to show video clips and pictures on the wall, which made it so much easier for everyone to see. This led to great group discussions and bonding! We also had fun showing a slide show at the end of the year, showcasing all the fun activities we were able to do.\r\n\r\nThe stress balls in fun heart and star shapes are adorable, and the kids have enjoyed having a fidget they get to keep. The noise machine and oil diffuser have also been great additions to my room. I had no idea how much the students would love to pick a scent to add to the diffuser each day. They have so much fun deciding which one and setting up the whole thing. It has been another thing that makes kids happy to come in and open up with me.\r\n\r\nI can't thank you enough for your support.
