It has given students the opportunity to learn about responsibility, patience, and the growth process firsthand. Watching their excitement as they planted and began caring for their sunflowers has been truly meaningful.

I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. My students were so excited when the boxes arrived and were opened. The \"oooh's\" and \"ahhh's\" were heard loud and clear. \r\n\r\nThey absolutely love the new hairdressing dramatic play materials! Our Dramatic Play station is always one of the favorite centers and the hair salon toys are really helping us create a fun experience where our preschoolers are using their imaginations and having so much fun! It is so wonderful to watch our students interact and the conversations they have been having while pretending in our hair salon are rich with dialog and vocabulary. The clipboards are hanging outside of our classroom, proudly displaying our little learner's work. The tape, clips and Velcro dots, helped me add center rotation boards to each center, so that students can be as independent as possible. Coming up next month, we are excited to fill our sand table with the sand that your generous donation provided! The sand table is always one of our favorite spots for our kids to visit during center time and the sand will help my students create masterpieces with their friends in a fun and sensory-friendly way!\r\n\r\nAgain, I cannot thank you enough for supplying my classroom with such wonderful materials and resources!","fullyFundedDate":1764722191784,"projectUrl":"project/preschool-fun-never-ends/9536668/","projectTitle":"Preschool Fun Never Ends!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cooney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1810444_orig.jpg?crop=784,784,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689449841781","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1810444"},{"teacherId":4238998,"projectId":9832361,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for these gift cards.
