Because of you, my classroom is filled with new materials that immediately sparked excitement, curiosity, and creativity.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, my students' eyes lit up. They couldn't wait to explore the vibrant watercolors, oil pastels, and modeling materials. One of the first moments that truly stood out was watching students carefully open the Model Magic, squeezing it gently in their hands, and excitedly asking what we would be making next. The watercolors and fresh white pans allowed them to see how colors mix and change in a way they hadn't experienced before, and the metallic tempera paints felt especially \"magical\" to them.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these resources across multiple projects. Students are painting with watercolors and tempera to explore contrast, line, and texture, layering oil pastels for expressive detail, and sculpting with Model Magic to transform ideas into three-dimensional forms. The vellum paper and satin cord are being used to add special finishing touches—turning student artwork into keepsakes, wearable art, and display pieces they are incredibly proud of. Even practical items like the wash basin have made a huge difference, helping us clean up smoothly and stay focused on learning.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on these skills by combining materials in more complex ways—mixing painting, drawing, and sculpture into finished artworks that reflect their ideas, stories, and identities. These supplies allow my students to take creative risks, problem-solve, and truly see themselves as artists.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students access to high-quality materials and meaningful art experiences they will remember. Thank you for giving them the tools to imagine, create, and express themselves with confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1764633915048,"projectUrl":"project/color-me-connected/9773652/","projectTitle":"Color Me Connected","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schwartz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1031089_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478919020518","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ps84art"},{"teacherId":861463,"projectId":9760755,"letterContent":"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your generous donations have greatly enriched our kindergarten classroom.

Each day, these games provide opportunities for our kindergarteners to strengthen their math skills, as they count spaces, recognize numbers, and engage in strategic thinking. \r\n\r\nMoreover, these games foster social-emotional learning (SEL) by encouraging cooperation, turn-taking, and friendly competition.

The mice, headphones, and mousepads you provided have already made a tremendous difference in our daily learning.

The mousepads, though small in size, have brought big improvements in comfort and accuracy, making computer-based tasks smoother and more enjoyable.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting for my students is how much more independent and confident they feel when using technology. They love being able to move through coding programs and learning games without frustration, and the headphones have opened up a whole new world of personalized learning — from audiobooks during literacy time to tutorial videos in small groups. One student, who used to struggle with staying focused during online lessons, now beams with pride when completing activities on her own.
