Because of your generosity, one of the things my students were able to experience is what it would be like to go camping. They were able to go use a tent, \"roast\" marshmallows, use camping tools, and barbecue on a grill. They were so excited to use these materials and the center quickly became a favorite. The materials also led to many lessons on sharing and taking turns.\r\n\r\nAnother favorite was the nature items. The students were able to explore different materials and items that we might not find in our area. They were also able create their own nature scenes. This went right along with our Habitat Domain and was a nice added touch.\r\n\r\nThank you again for you contributions and helping to make learning more hands on and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1778171223342,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-learning/10205949/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dawn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311541"},{"teacherId":9457339,"projectId":10204798,"letterContent":"The items that were donated for my PreK students to explore the world around them have become an integral part of our play based environment!\r\nThe smiles are many when students used their gross motor balancing skills to walk on the stepping stones!

The alphabet shells turn letter recognition into a playful search, while the sensory fillers offer opportunities to slow down, focus, and explore at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe binoculars, bug nets, balls, and bubbles have also given us more ways to learn through movement and curiosity. My students can investigate the world around them, ask questions, and practice working together while they play.
