The worlds within books are now more accessible to these students because of your generosity. I hope you feel our appreciation! I promise to do my part to care for these books and teach my students to do the same. \r\n\r\nThank you for allowing them to gain the experience of reading a book with peers and then discussing what they read, in order to form deep connections with text.

The resources you helped provide have already brought so much joy and excitement into our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe first time my students saw the new fine motor tools, games, and sensory materials, their faces lit up with curiosity and delight. One of my students immediately began exploring a puzzle, proudly announcing, \"I did it all by myself!\" That sense of accomplishment is exactly what I hoped for, those magical \"ah-ha\" moments when learning clicks and confidence shines.\r\n\r\nWe are using the manipulatives to build stronger hand muscles for writing, while the sorting and matching games have quickly become class favorites for practicing critical thinking and early math skills. The sensory tools have been especially helpful for students who need calming strategies, giving them a way to self-regulate so they can focus and learn alongside their peers.\r\n\r\nWhat's next for us? We'll be using these materials to support an upcoming unit on shapes, numbers, and patterns. The hands-on activities will give every child, no matter their learning style, the chance to explore, problem-solve, and discover in a fun, engaging way.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is not just a place to learn. It's a place where curiosity is celebrated, confidence is nurtured, and children are empowered to shine. I am deeply grateful for your generosity and for believing in my students. Together, we are creating a strong foundation for lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt thanks!","fullyFundedDate":1755692708912,"projectUrl":"project/make-learning-fun/9468808/","projectTitle":"Make Learning Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Friedman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2013281_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723405535377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2013281"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72347","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":657,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.0,"schoolId":72347,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sunset Lakes Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sunset Lakes Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/broward-county-public-schools/sunset-lakes-elementary-school/72347"}
