The children LOVE the new baby dolls and baby doll clothes. I love that the dolls reflect the cultures of the families in our community. My students like to pretend to feed them, rock them to sleep, read to them, and give them baths. It is so sweet to watch babies taking care of babies. \r\n\r\nDuring our trees unit, the students loved the sensory bottles representing the seasonal changes. The large tree bulletin board became the landing spot for what we learned and what we were wondering about trees. \r\n\r\nIn my class of tiny humans with tiny hands that are still developing, I try to develop pre-writing skills long before putting pencils in their hands. The egg puzzles, sorting dinosaur game and beading necklaces are perfect examples of some of the activities that develop fine motor muscles that later develop into pencil grasps. \r\n\r\nThank you for providing such great materials for our class. Not only this class of students, but future classes will also enjoy the materials.","fullyFundedDate":1758818491634,"projectUrl":"project/growing-and-learning-through-play/9729216/","projectTitle":"Growing and Learning Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1893_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y262&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1615033898694","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1893"},{"teacherId":43879,"projectId":9565355,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations to our project.

Before receiving it, access to printed materials was limited, which often made it difficult for students to fully engage with lessons. Now, I am able to provide high-quality, worksheets that meet students exactly where they are in their language development. It has also allowed me to provide students materials needed to access and engage in their regular classrooms in subjects such as ELA.\r\n \r\nWith the ability to print worksheets, graphic organizers, vocabulary cards, and reading passages, students now have tangible tools they can highlight, annotate, and revisit. Many of my English learners benefit from repeated exposure and hands-on learning, and printed materials make it possible for them to practice new skills. The printer has also allowed me to send home practice sheets.\r\n\r\nThe printer has also let students become creators themselves. They are now able to draft, revise, and publish their own writing, which they can share with classmates and display in the classroom.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the excitement and ownership students feel when they can both use printed materials and produce their own has transformed our learning. Thanks to this donation, my ESL students are not only improving their language skills, but also learning to enjoy the process of learning, and the joys of reading and writing.","fullyFundedDate":1757436919366,"projectUrl":"project/printer-for-multilingual-learners/9688024/","projectTitle":"Printer for Multilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243794"},{"teacherId":43879,"projectId":9262719,"letterContent":"Reading aloud to children helps build many important foundational skills.\r\nIt introduces vocabulary and provides a model of fluent, expressive reading.

Then I shared them on this laptop and printed them to add to the blocks center and other centers for reference. We also used it to explore buildings in other communities to compare the differences to the buildings we see in our own community.
