What amazed me most wasn't just the structure, but how they collaborated — taking turns, solving problems when blocks toppled over, and using new vocabulary like \"higher,\" \"stronger,\" and \"wider.\"\r\n\r\nMoments like this happen daily now. The blocks have become a centerpiece for learning math, science, language, and social skills — all while my students feel like they are just having fun. I've seen shy children step up as leaders during block play, and others beam with pride as they show off their creations.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide blocks; it provided opportunities for creativity, teamwork, and confidence-building that my students will carry with them long after Pre-K.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in the futures of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746698774894,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-foundations-empowering/9094442/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Foundations: Empowering Early Learners With Hardwood Blocks","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4068167_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720979965091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4068167"},{"teacherId":9813024,"projectId":8974375,"letterContent":"The \"Shape Town: Building with Math\" project, funded through DonorsChoose, had a powerful impact on my students by transforming abstract geometry concepts into hands-on, engaging learning experiences.

I wanted to personally thank you for your incredibly generous donation of laptops to my Pre-K scholars at West Clayton Elementary. Your kindness has truly made a remarkable difference, and I am excited to share the impact your gift is having on my students' education.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher in a low-income, high-poverty school district, my students face a range of challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite these obstacles, I have always strived to create a learning environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and growth. Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources and funding, my classroom has not had access to technology until now.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, we have introduced a world of technology that is exciting, engaging, and beneficial to my Pre-K students. The laptops have become an essential part of our daily learning routine. They are used in small group settings to target specific skills and provide personalized learning experiences. The interactive educational games and activities on the laptops have allowed my students to explore letters, numbers, and problem-solving in fun and meaningful ways. These tools are helping to enhance their learning by making abstract concepts more concrete and interactive.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is the ability to actively engage with the technology. They are thrilled to see the screen light up with games and educational videos, and they eagerly anticipate their turn to use the laptops. It's an entirely new experience for them, one that not only teaches them academic content but also opens their eyes to the power of technology in a learning environment. They are becoming more independent and confident as they navigate the programs, and it's been incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nA few of my students, in particular, have really warmed to the new technology. One student, in particular, who had previously struggled with focus and attention during lessons, has shown remarkable improvement. The interactive nature of the laptop programs keeps them engaged and excited, and it's helping them stay focused for longer periods of time. Another student, who is a very visual learner, has especially thrived by using the laptops for visual games that reinforce letter recognition and phonics. Their excitement has been contagious, and I have seen an increase in their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has not only provided access to essential educational technology but also opened up a world of possibilities for my students. It has enhanced their learning in ways I couldn't have imagined and has made the classroom a more dynamic and engaging place.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support. The laptops are having a lasting and meaningful impact on my students' education, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1724370123158,"projectUrl":"project/learning-technology-in-pre-k/8491154/","projectTitle":"Learning Technology in Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4068167_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720979965091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4068167"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":87,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.6,"schoolId":48070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Clayton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Clayton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/clayton-county-public-schools/west-clayton-elementary-school/48070"}
