Many students in LEGO Club have had little to no experience building with LEGO sets, so when they saw how gigantic the boxes were the excitement began to overflow and the energy was contagious. \r\nOne of the sets requested and purchased was the new Disney LEGO Simba. This set is over 1,000 pieces and proving quite a challenge for some of our builders, but many of the participants in LEGO Club are also involved in our after-school Disney Musical program, which happens to be rehearsing a production of The Lion King. The connections we have been able to make between these after school opportunities are so fulfilling for our at-risk population.\r\nWhen we complete the Simba LEGO set, all of the students in LEGO Club will get to vote on which set we build next. Because of your generosity, there are several amazing choices we have to pick from. Thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1755750159405,"projectUrl":"project/lets-build/9367871/","projectTitle":"Let's Build!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kirkbride","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8138209_orig.jpg?crop=507,507,x68,y66&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692127102175","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8138209"},{"teacherId":9347934,"projectId":7983132,"letterContent":"The classroom has been transformed due to the generous contribution, and the impact of the support on the students is incredible.

You helped me so much to get materials that I wanted for my kindergarten classroom. My students were able to use the materials during small groups when doing math time. The number games we were able to get allowed for them to practice their math number skills and they were able to get better scores in their end of year testing. I was able to teach my students using the easel that helped out with them being able to see the anchor charts that we did together as well as the writing stories. \r\nI was also super excited to use the color printer that allowed for my entire kinder team to print our class visuals in color so that we can post them in our classrooms. So not only did all these materials help one classroom but many!!! I was able to use the laminating machine to laminate my posters that I had printed in color and post them in the class. They will be able to last for many years thanks to the printer and laminating machine.

We now use the blankets as cozy spots for outdoor reading time, science observations, and peaceful moments to reflect during health and wellness lessons. Recently, during our lesson on pollinators, my students sat in small groups on their blankets, sketching bees and butterflies as they fluttered through our garden. One student looked up at me and said, \"I wish we could learn out here every day!\" — and now, we can!\r\n\r\nThe excitement on their faces when they saw the new blankets for the first time was unforgettable. They immediately started pairing up and choosing their spots, asking if we could have all our lessons outside from now on. For many of my students, especially those who live in apartments without green space, this has become a peaceful retreat where they feel safe and inspired to learn.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're using the blankets as part of our Garden Journaling Project, where students will document plant growth, write reflections, and even create poetry inspired by nature. These blankets may seem like a simple addition, but to my students, they represent a new kind of classroom — one filled with sunshine, curiosity, and calm. Thank you for helping us create this beautiful space to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1736288769931,"projectUrl":"project/picnic-blankets-for-the-garden/9034599/","projectTitle":"Picnic Blankets for the Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taitano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6410302_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632957677250","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6410302"},{"teacherId":8138209,"projectId":9085337,"letterContent":"Your generousity has helped our Disney Musical team purchase a spotlight for our 'Frozen' musical.

When I told my students that we would be reading in the dark they were a little hesitant, however once they realized they could read anywhere in the room with flexible seating and a flashlight they were so excited.
