Many of them remember using these supplies such as safety supplies but I think that the favorite were the lapdesks. It's unbelievable that these children who are about my height once used those tiny colorful lap desks. \r\nThis goes to show that something that may seem so small can make a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1608336808376,"projectUrl":"project/making-hybrid-learning-safe-and-fun/5103601/","projectTitle":"Making Hybrid Learning Safe and Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Suarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6485606"},{"teacherId":6485606,"projectId":9901879,"letterContent":"As soon as our kids received the packages, with high hope and high energy they brought them upstairs. Usually I like to unpack these materials myself as I like to make sure I can sort, distribute and take inventory of what we received and what else needs to arrive however I let them go for it. \r\nThey quickly noticed poster boards, ink, coloring utensils, colorful paper, glue and other supplies they know they have heard me wish for in order to give them access to the projects our curriculum embeds. \r\nTo start off they immediately used some of the resources to create snowmen (season appropriate) using area, circumference and other properties of circles. I look forward tontheir posters where they teach others about proportional relationships using self created scenarios.","fullyFundedDate":1763602690857,"projectUrl":"project/make-steam-happen/9901879/","projectTitle":"Make Steam Happen!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Suarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6485606"},{"teacherId":7956390,"projectId":9300570,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our kindergarten classroom!
