Because of you, my students now have access to materials that truly enhance their learning experience in meaningful and joyful ways.\r\nFrom the moment the supplies arrived, the excitement in the room was incredible. My students absolutely loved exploring the sensory toys—they were immediately engaged, curious, and eager to learn. These tools have made it possible for me to incorporate more hands-on learning into our daily activities, which has been especially impactful for students who thrive through movement and tactile experiences.\r\nOne of the biggest hits has been the bean bag, which has quickly become a favorite spot in our classroom. It provides a comfortable and calming space for students who need a moment to reset or focus. The playdough has also been amazing—it's not only fun, but it supports fine motor development and creativity in ways that traditional materials sometimes can't.\r\nOur art supplies have truly opened the door for self-expression. My students love, love using them, and it has been wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they create and share their ideas. These materials have helped make our classroom a place where every student feels comfortable expressing themselves.\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using these resources as part of our daily lessons. We are working on projects that combine creativity with learning—such as storytelling through art and sensory-based activities that reinforce key concepts. These tools will continue to play an important role in helping my students stay engaged, inspired, and excited about learning.\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support. Your generosity has made a real difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1769114985597,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom-for-pre-k/10045323/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom for Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10193892"},{"teacherId":9102042,"projectId":9638627,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my DonorsChoose project, \"Learning in Disguise: Growing Through Play.\" Because of your generosity, my students now have engaging hands-on games and toys that bring joy, excitement, and creativity into our classroom every single day.\r\n\r\nThese materials have already made a powerful difference. Students are collaborating, problem-solving, taking turns, and learning to communicate with one another in ways that traditional lessons can't always provide. Watching them navigate challenges, encourage teammates, and celebrate each other has been incredible. Their social-emotional growth has been just as meaningful as the academic learning happening through play.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only filled our classroom with laughter and learning—it has shown my students that there are people who believe in them and their potential. This project has meant so much to me, and even more to my students.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our class and helping us learn, grow, and play together.","fullyFundedDate":1756044044594,"projectUrl":"project/learning-in-disguise-growing-through-pl/9638627/","projectTitle":"Learning in Disguise: Growing Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9102042_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689432212805","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9102042"},{"teacherId":9971417,"projectId":9180894,"letterContent":"I want to express my thanks again for the funding of this project.
