We are so grateful for your donations to our classroom. The materials that you provided helped create a bright learning environment filled with resources to help us grow our reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe lamination sheets allowed us to protect our games, posters and center activities so they can last. The little erasers are used as game pieces and the students LOVE all the choices they have when playing Roll & Reads. The sentences strips have supported our letter formation and spelling... we love that we can wipe them off and use them again and again!\r\n\r\nYou've helped my students become better readers and shown them that members of our community want to see them succeed!\r\n\r\nThank you for all that you do :)","fullyFundedDate":1770056930941,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-materials/10053001/","projectTitle":"New Year, New Materials!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Magee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9004319_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707243933753","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9004319"},{"teacherId":9497655,"projectId":10072651,"letterContent":"Our students were so excited when they first saw the new floor mats added to our classroom centers! They immediately noticed the bright, clean spaces and were eager to begin exploring. The mats have made a huge difference in our classroom by creating protected areas for hands-on learning, sensory play, art projects, and science exploration. My students feel more comfortable experimenting, creating, and collaborating without worrying about spills or messes, which is such an important part of learning in Pre-K.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the mats daily during our Science units. Students have explored animal habitats, compared animal teeth and body coverings, and used sensory materials to create icy environments for pretend play and investigation. In our dramatic play grocery store, students have also been practicing real-world skills like shopping, counting, communicating with classmates, and working together. The mats have allowed us to expand these engaging experiences while keeping our classroom safe, organized, and welcoming.\r\n\r\nNext, our students will continue building on these hands-on learning experiences through spring science investigations, collaborative art projects, and more imaginative play opportunities connected to our classroom themes. These materials have helped create an environment where curiosity, creativity, and exploration can thrive every single day.

Their eyes lit up as they explored the magnetic discovery wands, fine motor tools, and all the new art supplies. One of my favorite moments happened during a science-and-art station rotation: a small group used the magnetic wands to test which classroom items were \"magnet friends,\" while another group stamped patterns with the ink pads and paint sticks. Their curiosity was completely natural and joyful — the room was full of little discoveries and proud \"I did it!\" moments.\r\n\r\nWe've already put the resources to great use during our weekly exploration centers. The fine motor bin has become a class favorite, especially for students who need extra support with hand strength. The art materials have inspired open-ended creations, from colorful self-portraits to class-made pattern books. These tools give my students more independence and confidence, and it's clear they feel proud of what they can create.\r\n\r\nUp next, we're starting a mini-unit that blends science, art, and storytelling. Students will use the magnet tools to sort objects and predict outcomes, then create illustrated pages about what they discovered using our paint sticks and brushes. Your donation is helping them build both academic skills and a love of learning — and I can't thank you enough for making these moments possible.","fullyFundedDate":1761371679699,"projectUrl":"project/painting-printing-and-smocksoh-my/9779451/","projectTitle":"Painting, Printing, and Smocks—Oh My!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rhine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9497655_orig.png?crop=285,285,x101,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715727717025","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9497655"},{"teacherId":9004319,"projectId":9468442,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our school and my learners!
