When students have a clean environment, they are more comfortable and ready to learn.\r\nThe snacks have made a big difference in helping students stay focused throughout the day. When students aren't distracted by hunger, they are better able to concentrate, participate, and do their best work.\r\nThe document scanner has been especially exciting because it allows me to easily send student work home for families to see. Parents are now more connected to what their children are learning, and students feel proud knowing their work can be shared and celebrated at home.\r\nOverall, these resources are helping create a classroom where students feel supported, cared for, and ready to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1760447437066,"projectUrl":"project/4th-and-5th-grade-department/9467174/","projectTitle":"4th and 5th Grade Department","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10081336"},{"teacherId":6740183,"projectId":9972067,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your generous support of our project. Thanks to your contribution, our PreK3 students are exploring the world of science through the study of animal shelters. The new resources, such as magnetic materials, transparent blocks, green sensory sand, Arctic animal figures, playdough, and books, are used daily in learning centers where children actively investigate, build, and experiment.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments occurred when students designed and built animal shelters using different materials. During the activity, they compared which materials were stronger and which protected better from \"wind\" and \"rain.\" It was wonderful to observe how they collaborated, asked questions, and explained their ideas about how to keep animals safe in their shelters.\r\n\r\nTheir reaction upon seeing the materials was one of great excitement and curiosity. They showed interest in exploring, touching, and creating, participating with motivation and joy in every experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible for our young learners!","fullyFundedDate":1769180635343,"projectUrl":"project/little-architects-in-the-north-pole/9972067/","projectTitle":"Little Architects in the North Pole.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6740183_orig.jpg?crop=3020,3020,x509,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759002589006","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6740183"},{"teacherId":6740183,"projectId":9863523,"letterContent":"The new materials have been a great tool to support my students' creative learning. We've used them in daily activities where children build, explore, and work together.\r\n\r\nA special moment was when the students created a small neighborhood using the manipulatives. They built houses, police and fire stations, hospitals, and other important buildings in their community. As they built, they talked about how these places help people, developing vocabulary and a better understanding of the world around them.\r\n\r\nWhen they saw the materials for the first time, the students were full of excitement. They loved the different colors and sizes and immediately began imagining what they could build.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting this project and making these meaningful moments possible in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762267511910,"projectUrl":"project/building-our-mini-city-together/9863523/","projectTitle":"Building Our Mini City Together.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6740183_orig.jpg?crop=3020,3020,x509,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759002589006","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6740183"},{"teacherId":6740183,"projectId":9750531,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generous support received, my students have been able to learn and enjoy the new materials in a very meaningful way.

In our learning centers, they are using colorful number paddles from 1 to 10 to identify, recognize, and count numbers, helping them strengthen their early math skills in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThey also enjoy working with magnetic pieces, where they place shapes to represent numbers from 1 to 10, which encourages coordination, focus, and logical thinking. At the sand table, students practice number tracing, improving fine motor skills and number recognition.\r\n\r\nIn addition, we've been reading \"Pete the Cat\" books, which help students identify colors, images, and new vocabulary while enjoying cheerful and rhythmic stories.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support!
