My students have shown tremendous enthusiasm as they explore the various resources available. They have enjoyed creating art at the tables surrounded by their favorite books, which has sparked their imagination and encouraged creativity. The excitement in their eyes as they discover new stories is truly heartwarming.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the art activities, the students have had the opportunity to delve into a wide selection of new books in the library. They particularly love reading to their stuffed animal buddies in our cozy library space. This special space not only provides comfort but also fosters a sense of community and joy in sharing stories. The soft new rug adds a touch of warmth and color, making the area inviting and conducive to learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we plan to utilize the library frequently, emphasizing the importance of reading and cultivating a lifelong love for books among our Pre-K students. This library will be cherished and cared for, serving as a nurturing environment for many children for years to come. It stands as a testament to our commitment to fostering a love of learning and imagination in our young learners, and I am excited to see how it will continue to benefit them.","fullyFundedDate":1746786511595,"projectUrl":"project/reviving-the-pre-k-library/9212121/","projectTitle":"Reviving the Pre-K Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaiwi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4056439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702092915818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4056439"},{"teacherId":4056439,"projectId":9149601,"letterContent":"My students have thoroughly enjoyed the new science materials. They have engaged in building structures, investigating the principles of sink or float, and utilizing the shelf to display even more science resources. When we introduced the new materials, their excitement was palpable. We had to carefully manage the time each child spent at the center to ensure that everyone had the opportunity to explore all the enhancements.\r\n As we embark on the beginning of the school year, we are not only learning about routines and expectations but also getting hands-on experience with these new materials. This integration of learning is fostering an environment filled with curiosity and enthusiasm.\r\n Looking ahead, our next step is to infuse purpose into each material. We aim to expand their thinking by encouraging questions like \"What happens when...?\" or \"How does this work?\" This approach will promote deeper gratitude and enrich their scientific explorations, allowing them to connect more meaningfully with their learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1746785990623,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-science-exploration/9149601/","projectTitle":"Pre-K Science Exploration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaiwi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4056439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702092915818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4056439"},{"teacherId":4056439,"projectId":8614546,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well! I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions to my PreK cooking in the classroom project. Thanks to your support, my students have been able to engage in hands-on cooking experiences that they absolutely love, enriching their learning in ways I couldn't have anticipated. \r\n\r\nThis past semester, we have enjoyed making mini pizzas, delicious soups, treats, and cookies, along with non-food-related activities using measuring tools, like creating cornstarch oobleck and mixing playdough. These experiences have been instrumental in teaching my students not only the basics of cooking but also vital kitchen safety skills. One of the highlights was when we introduced the toaster oven; the students were captivated as they watched the cheese melt, which sparked exciting discussions about food transformations and how certain ingredients react when heated. It was a joy to see their eyes light up with curiosity as they connected these culinary experiences to broader scientific concepts. \r\n\r\nAs we look forward to spring, we are excited about our upcoming project where we will make salsa and salads from our very own campus garden. This will give the students an incredible opportunity to explore fresh ingredients and learn about nutrition firsthand. Additionally, our next steps will explore cooking as a chemical reaction, allowing us to investigate other safe science experiments. \r\n\r\nYour support has made all of this possible, and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. The impact you have had on these young learners goes beyond just cooking; you are nurturing their love for science, creativity, and exploration in the kitchen.
