Because of you, our PreK scholars now have access to these amazing new learning materials:\r\n -See-Inside Magnetic Blocks\r\n -Magnetic Vehicle Builders\r\n -Magnetic Number Tiles\r\n -Pattern Block Builders\r\n -Magnetic Block Tough Tiles\r\n -Light Table Sensory Materials\r\nThese wonderful additions have brought excitement, creativity, and endless opportunities for hands-on learning to our classroom!\r\nYour generosity has allowed our students to explore important STEM concepts while strengthening their critical thinking, problem-solving, and computational thinking skills. As they design structures, build vehicles, create patterns, explore numbers and shapes, and investigate materials at the light table, they're learning to plan, experiment, recognize patterns, and persevere through challenges. These materials also encourage collaboration, communication, and teamwork as students share ideas and work together to bring their creations to life.\r\nOne of the most rewarding aspects of these materials is watching our students use their imaginations while developing confidence and independence. Whether they're constructing a building, designing a vehicle, creating a pattern, or exploring light, color, and transparency at the sensory table, they are learning through play and developing skills that will extend far beyond our classroom.\r\nThank you for investing in their curiosity, creativity, and love of learning. Because of you, our scholars have even more opportunities to explore, discover, create, and grow as future innovators and problem-solvers!","fullyFundedDate":1778203696028,"projectUrl":"project/from-glow-to-grow-hands-on-stem-in-prek/10237672/","projectTitle":"From Glow to Grow: Hands-On Stem in PreK","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4236897_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x113,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714443989944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4236897"},{"teacherId":3612633,"projectId":10205450,"letterContent":"Here is your update on Cooper's Learning Lounge.

They have created ABC books, math journals, progress monitoring journals, as well as prompting/anchor charts journals. It is also easy for me to take them apart when needed and add as we go.
