Because of your generosity, my classroom now has a warm and inviting space where my students can develop a love for books while building important social and emotional skills.\r\n\r\nThe first day the materials arrived was filled with excitement. My students couldn't wait to explore the new reading area. They eagerly helped arrange the throw pillows, looked through the kindness and social-emotional books, and took turns sitting at the new desk and bookcase to choose stories. Many of my little learners are experiencing school for the first time, and having a cozy place to read has helped them feel safe, calm, and confident. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of children read together and then use what they learned from a kindness story to solve a disagreement by sharing and using kind words. It was a beautiful reminder that books teach so much more than reading.\r\n\r\nWe use our new media center every day during independent reading, small-group literacy lessons, and social-emotional learning activities. The indoor plant has become part of our classroom family, and the children enjoy helping care for it while learning about responsibility and the natural world. The Teachers Pay Teachers resources have allowed me to create engaging literacy centers and interactive lessons that meet the needs of all my learners. As we continue our classroom journey, we will use this special space to strengthen early reading skills, build friendships, and encourage curiosity and creativity. Thank you for helping create a place where my students can discover that reading truly brings joy and where they are building a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1770394375567,"projectUrl":"project/reading-brings-joy-creating-a-cozy-pre-/9857773/","projectTitle":"Reading Brings Joy: Creating a Cozy Pre-K Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Howard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3489289_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566019820779","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/f-howard"},{"teacherId":6766745,"projectId":10042290,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous classroom supply donations!

From the moment the materials arrived, their excitement was immediate—wide eyes, big smiles, and so many questions! They couldn't wait to dig in, plant seeds, and begin observing the growth process. We have been using the materials daily as part of our plant study. One of the most meaningful moments was when students planted their own seeds and began tracking changes over time. They eagerly check their plants each day, noticing small details like sprouting leaves, changes in color, and growth in height. These simple observations have turned into rich conversations about what plants need to survive, helping students build early science skills such as predicting, observing, and describing. It has also strengthened their sense of responsibility as they care for something living. Because of your generosity, learning has become more interactive and meaningful. Students are not just hearing about plants—they are experiencing the process firsthand. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our learning by documenting plant growth in journals, comparing different plants, and connecting our study to healthy eating and where food comes from. This project has truly sparked curiosity, wonder, and a love for learning in my classroom. Thank you again for investing in my students and helping us grow both minds and plants!","fullyFundedDate":1762224720740,"projectUrl":"project/growing-little-scientists-exploring-lif/9798959/","projectTitle":"Growing Little Scientists: Exploring Life Through Plants","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Howard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3489289_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566019820779","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/f-howard"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122658","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":60,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":69,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":85.9,"schoolId":122658,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whitefoord Early Learning Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whitefoord Early Learning Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/atlanta-public-schools/whitefoord-early-learning-academy/122658"}
