Your kindness and thoughtfulness have made a meaningful difference for those in need within our community.\r\n\r\nThe children were so surprised when they saw all the packages arriving. As we opened the packages to explore what was inside the boxes, the children's faces lit up with so much joy. The excitement on their faces was priceless when they saw the snacks, coats, and especially the hats and gloves. They were so happy to be able to pick their own hat and gloves.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, individuals and families are better able to stay warm, nourished, and cared for—especially during challenging weather conditions. These essential items provide not only physical comfort, but also hope and reassurance to those who receive them.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your compassion and willingness to give.

The instruments arrived at the perfect time, just as we are in our Creative Curriculum music study. When the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate and contagious. They eagerly opened each instrument, explored how it was made, and experimented with the different sounds. Many of them began creating rhythms together right away, turning the moment into an impromptu music-making experience filled with joy and curiosity.\r\n\r\nThe instruments are being used daily as part of our hands-on learning experiences. Not only are the children reading about music and musical concepts, but they are also able to actively participate by playing the instruments themselves. This has helped deepen their understanding of rhythm, sound, and expression in a meaningful and engaging way.\r\nYour kindness has had a direct and positive impact on our students' learning. The opportunity to explore music in such an interactive way has sparked creativity, curiosity, and joy in our classroom. We are truly grateful for your support and for helping make learning come alive for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1766508425326,"projectUrl":"project/rhythm-and-joy-in-our-preschool-classroo/9964793/","projectTitle":"Rhythm and Joy in Our Preschool Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Randall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9984923"},{"teacherId":5457568,"projectId":3455935,"letterContent":"i am truly sorry for the late response in thanking you all for your generous donation to help my classroom explore and be ready for the next level.
