These new resources have truly transformed the way my students approach math and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the kits during our small-group math centers, where students work together to solve real-world problems inspired by classic fairy tales. One of our favorite moments was when students had to help the Three Little Pigs build the strongest house using different \"materials\" and math strategies. It was amazing to watch them test, discuss, and revise their ideas while laughing and cheering each other on. The activity not only strengthened their problem-solving skills but also encouraged teamwork and creativity.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the kits, their faces lit up with excitemen and they couldn't wait to dive in! Many said it felt like \"playing and learning at the same time.\" These materials have made our lessons come alive, sparking curiosity and confidence in every child.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real impact in our classroom. Thank you for helping my students learn through imagination, exploration, and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1756315890359,"projectUrl":"project/stem-superheroes-powering-the-future-of/9375360/","projectTitle":"STEM Superheroes: Powering the Future of Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alkire","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10029837_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746750744375","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10029837"},{"teacherId":10029837,"projectId":9338152,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to purchase a dollhouse for our classroom. The moment the students saw it for the first time, their eyes lit up with excitement and wonder. There were gasps, claps, and eager chatter as they explored every tiny room and detail. It quickly became the most loved item in our classroom, and it has brought so much joy to our learning environment. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our students.\r\n The dollhouse has become much more than just a toy — it's a powerful learning tool. Through imaginative play, my students have been practicing essential social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and cooperative problem-solving. It has also encouraged storytelling, expanded vocabulary, and introduced concepts of family, home, and community. I've seen quieter students come out of their shells during dollhouse play, taking on roles and expressing themselves in new and creative ways.\r\n One of our favorite activities is using the dollhouse for a storytelling lesson. The students create characters and act out short stories using the furniture and dolls, then we work together to write and illustrate the stories they create. It's a fun and meaningful way to build literacy skills while keeping them fully engaged. Thank you again for your incredible support — this dollhouse has truly opened up a world of learning and imagination in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1747168018001,"projectUrl":"project/building-dreams-funding-a-dollhouse-for/9338152/","projectTitle":"Building Dreams: Funding a Dollhouse for Creative Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alkire","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10029837_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746750744375","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10029837"},{"teacherId":9566724,"projectId":8449576,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for choosing to donate to our project.
