Thanks to your kindness, our youngest learners are not only building foundational skills—they're discovering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nEvery day, our classroom buzzes with excitement as students rotate through the centers. Whether it's matching numbers to quantities with colorful manipulatives or curling up in a cozy reading nook with their favorite book, each child is engaged, focused, and smiling.\r\n\r\nThese centers have transformed the way we teach and learn. Our math center gives students hands-on opportunities to explore numbers, patterns, and problem-solving. It's amazing to watch their faces light up when they successfully complete a puzzle or confidently count out objects. In the reading center, students practice phonics, build vocabulary, and gain the confidence to read aloud. They feel proud, accomplished—and eager to keep learning.\r\n\r\nOne student recently said, \"I love the math center because I get to play and learn with my friends!\" Another told us, \"I can read this book all by myself now!\" These moments of pride and independence are made possible because of the tools and resources you've helped provide.\r\n\r\nAs educators, we see firsthand the impact your support has had. The centers have not only improved academic readiness, but also helped build teamwork, independence, and a strong classroom community.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts—and from our bright, curious kindergarteners—thank you. Your generosity has made our classroom a joyful place to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1746785482265,"projectUrl":"project/building-foundations-math-and-reading-c/9208003/","projectTitle":"Building Foundations: Math and Reading Centers for Kindergarten Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barajas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8077675_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679431866386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8077675"},{"teacherId":8077675,"projectId":8600925,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a printer and school materials for our kindergarten classroom.
