My first graders were thrilled to explore these new treasures. The books have already sparked so many curious questions — from \"Why do sloths move so slowly?\" to \"How tall can a rainforest tree grow?\" The hands-on materials and toys have brought our rainforest lessons to life, turning our classroom into a mini jungle full of excitement and imagination.\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping my students build a deeper understanding of animals, plants, and the importance of protecting our environment. Most importantly, they're learning through play and discovery — the best kind of learning for first graders! Your kindness has inspired curiosity, creativity, and a genuine love for nature in our young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1759339138078,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-classroom-rainforest/9426616/","projectTitle":"Creating a Classroom Rainforest!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zagen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9985155_orig.jpg?crop=1053,1053,x0,y140&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751912158315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-zagen"},{"teacherId":9995795,"projectId":9250299,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to play with and use the new materials that you purchased for our classroom. We use the materials all day long - during reading, writing, phonics, math and playtime. Having these things will help improve my students fine motor skills, helping them to write more neatly. The best part is that they are learning and growing while enjoying themselves! They make learning so much fun! Many of my students often do not get new things, so for them it was like having a birthday! They are so grateful and we are truly humbled by your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1746479027006,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-become-glowing-readers/9250299/","projectTitle":"Help Us Become Glowing Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Compel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9995795"},{"teacherId":9985155,"projectId":9449055,"letterContent":"Please accept my deepest thanks for your generous donation of indoor games and activities for our classroom. Because of you, what would have been just another dreary, rain-soaked day turned into one filled with laughter, joy, and the kind of excitement that only a surprise can bring.\r\n\r\nThe moment the students saw the new toys — from magna tiles to old-school classics like Connect Four — their faces absolutely lit up. The room buzzed with energy and curiosity as they explored each item, their imaginations taking off in all directions.\r\n\r\nWatching them play reminded me of my own childhood. Seeing my students gathered around Connect Four transported me back to rainy days when games made everything feel a little more special. It was a beautiful, full-circle moment that I'll carry with me for a long time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create memories like these — ones filled with laughter, learning, and connection. Your kindness truly makes a difference, not just in what we can offer, but in how students feel when they walk into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1753543630493,"projectUrl":"project/rainy-day-play/9449055/","projectTitle":"Rainy Day Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zagen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9985155_orig.jpg?crop=1053,1053,x0,y140&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751912158315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-zagen"},{"teacherId":5583090,"projectId":8343860,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our \"First Grade Sturdy Storage\" project!
