The students were so excited to open the packages and take out the items. They decided where the new items would be placed in our classroom. The emotion puppets and nesting dolls are used throughout the day, in the library area, cozy corner, and toys and games center. The students love to use the puppets to share how the \"puppet\" is feeling. \r\n\r\nThe ice cream cones have been useful and fun way to focus on literacy skills. The students will make ice cream cones, using the letters on the ice cream to spell out their classmates names. The number cones are fun visuals to show how adding one more ice cream scoop adds one more number. They are learning math skills but through fun relatable objects. \r\n\r\nThank you again for the smiles these new items brought to my students.","fullyFundedDate":1762267683142,"projectUrl":"project/abcs-and-123s/9550692/","projectTitle":"ABCs and 123s","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Franco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4722457_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506278038397","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/r-franco"},{"teacherId":4742142,"projectId":9479393,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our Pre-K classroom!
