Thanks to you, our students received sun hats, sunglasses, and water bottles—and their reactions were absolutely priceless. The moment they saw the materials, the classroom erupted in cheers, and their smiles lit up the room. They immediately put on their hats and sunglasses, filled up their new water bottles, and couldn't wait to use them during recess.\r\n\r\nBeyond the excitement, something truly special happened. The students quickly turned their enthusiasm into action. They were so eager to share what they learned about sun safety that a few of them even organized their own mini-lesson outdoors! They used our outdoor classroom space to teach their peers about how to stay safe while playing in the sun. It was amazing to see them take ownership of their learning and turn into confident little teachers.\r\n\r\nThe impact extended beyond the school walls. Several parents reached out to let me know how thankful they were for the materials that came home. Many students proudly showed their families what they received and even taught their parents what they had learned about staying safe during the hot summer months.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution, our students not only gained valuable knowledge—they also gained confidence and a sense of responsibility for their well-being and that of others. Our next step is to continue our science and health unit, with students exploring how the environment affects our bodies and how we can make smart choices to stay safe and healthy.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your support. You've made a lasting difference, and we can't thank you enough for giving our students this unforgettable learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1746464322206,"projectUrl":"project/shades-smiles-sun-safe-for-summer/9318414/","projectTitle":"Shades & Smiles: Sun-Safe for Summer!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DeGross","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013364_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746403455062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013364"},{"teacherId":7508039,"projectId":9248258,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom project. We began using the clipboards right away to do writing scavenger hunts, looking for vocabulary cards throughout the school and writing down the words that we found. We also used the dry erase markers and erasers immediately, using them to practice phonics skills, sentence composition, and letter formation. The children were so excited to have so many different colors of erasers and markers to choose from! \r\nI am most excited to use the Command Hooks and hole puncher to make sets of words to hang up in the writing center for students to easily grab and use. I will use binder rings to make sets of name cards, how-to-draw cards, and vocabulary cards that students will use to develop their writing. \r\nThank you again for bringing this project to life.
