We were absolutely thrilled to receive the boxes filled with so many wonderful classroom supplies. \r\n\r\nOne of the students' favorite additions has been our new \"Nuts About Math\" center. This hands-on activity has quickly become one of the most popular parts of our math time! The children get to screw washers onto bolts to help them count, create patterns, and explore number concepts in a fun and engaging way. It's such a wonderful way for them to build fine motor skills while deepening their understanding of math.\r\n\r\nWe have also been using many of the craft supplies to support our literacy lessons. Each week, as we introduce a new letter of the alphabet, the students complete an alphabet craft to go along with our \"Letter of the Week.\" These projects have quickly become a favorite Friday tradition! \r\n\r\nIt's donors like you who help make our classroom a warm, engaging place where students are excited to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1756914846903,"projectUrl":"project/learning-time/9470794/","projectTitle":"Learning Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3496177_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533676125292","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/d-rodrick"},{"teacherId":3496177,"projectId":9288800,"letterContent":"On behalf of my kindergarten class, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation.

Your contribution has made such a wonderful difference in our classroom, and the children could not have been more excited when the boxes of supplies arrived.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the supplies, the students have already been putting them to good use. One of their favorite activities has been creating alphabet wands using the popsicle sticks you donated. It has been such a fun and engaging way for them to strengthen their early literacy skills while using their creativity and imagination.\r\n\r\nThe name plates have also been incredibly helpful. Each one includes the alphabet, numbers, color words, and shapes—everything a kindergartener needs to support early learning. Throughout the day, the students refer to their name plates as a guide for writing letters, forming numbers, and identifying colors and shapes.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of education and for supporting young learners at the very start of their academic journey.","fullyFundedDate":1756914847511,"projectUrl":"project/everyday-supplies/9288800/","projectTitle":"Everyday Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3496177_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533676125292","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/d-rodrick"},{"teacherId":3496177,"projectId":9249497,"letterContent":"We would like to thank you for your generous donation of books to our kindergarten classroom.
