Thanks to you, letters are no longer just shapes on a page; they are characters with personalities, stories, and adventures that our little learners can't wait to explore each day.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment our students met Annie Apple, Bouncy Ben, and the rest of the Letterland friends, something amazing happened:\r\n✨ Confidence bloomed.\r\n✨ Engagement skyrocketed.\r\n✨ Early readers began emerging—bright-eyed and excited.\r\n\r\nIt's incredible what happens when learning feels like play. Students who were hesitant to participate are now eagerly sounding out words, identifying letters, and sharing Letterland stories with their classmates. We hear Letterland songs at snack time, see characters doodled on whiteboards during free choice, and watch students proudly \"teach\" the characters to each other.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just give us materials—it gave us a foundation for literacy, a classroom filled with imagination, and students who truly believe they can be readers.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of every wide-eyed, enthusiastic kindergartener who now sees themselves as a learner:\r\nThank you.\r\nThank you for believing in early education.\r\nThank you for investing in our students.\r\nThank you for bringing Letterland to life.","fullyFundedDate":1566827968770,"projectUrl":"project/learning-letters-for-little-learners/4392588/","projectTitle":"Learning Letters for Little Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maroney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6710595_orig.jpg?crop=1918,1918,x0,y89&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565967178420","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6710595"},{"teacherId":9513419,"projectId":9383473,"letterContent":"My students were WOWED by the box of goodies that were purchased through your donations!
