Your commitment to providing engaging, hands‑on learning spaces makes a meaningful difference in our classroom every day. Because of your support, our young learners have a safe, inviting place to explore, ask questions, and practice important scientific habits like observing, measuring, and explaining.\r\n\r\nThe small group table structure you helped provide encourages cooperation and gives each child a role so every voice is heard. When students work together to state questions, record data, and write simple claims with evidence, they begin to think like scientists. Your contribution also helps teachers give more targeted feedback, since the clear layout of the table makes student thinking visible and easy to assess during lessons.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these tables foster confidence, curiosity, and communication. Watching children share ideas, learn from mistakes, and celebrate discoveries is a daily reminder of why early science matters. Your generosity supports not just supplies and furniture, but the development of lifelong skills: collaboration, critical thinking, and a love of learning.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us in the classroom, thank you. Your support changes lives—one small discovery at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1764601644448,"projectUrl":"project/science-table-needed/9881777/","projectTitle":"Science Table Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lively","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10276042"},{"teacherId":10276042,"projectId":9887238,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom.

Our students are curious, imaginative, and full of energy. They love exploring new skills through play, simple technology, and hands‑on activities. Many face challenges outside of school, so when they enter our classroom they feel safe, capable, and excited to learn. Game design is a favorite part of the day because it helps them feel empowered and eager to create.\r\nYour generosity helps provide essential tools that make learning accessible and joyful. Headphones and mice allow our youngest learners to navigate programs, build simple games, and practice hand‑eye coordination. Currently our technology is limited and wired mice are hard for little hands to use; wireless mice will let students click, drag, and create more independently.\r\n\r\nYou're also helping us bring holiday joy to our students. The planned Christmas celebration — with party favors, chips, candy, and small treats — will reward their hard work and foster a positive classroom community. For many children, this will be a special celebration they don't otherwise experience, and your support makes that possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' learning, confidence, and joy. Your kindness creates moments of connection and creativity that their families and teachers will remember for years.","fullyFundedDate":1764599038116,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-techies-holiday-cheer/9929027/","projectTitle":"Tiny Techies + Holiday Cheer","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571656_orig.jpg?crop=1411,1411,x473,y947&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728054434710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571656"},{"teacherId":10276042,"projectId":9929103,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our Pre-K game design classroom.

Your donation of cleaning supplies, paper towels, and hand sanitizer makes it possible for us to maintain a safe space where students can focus, create, and grow.\r\n\r\nWe also deeply appreciate your contribution of water bottles. Many students arrive without one, and having water available helps them stay hydrated, calm, and ready to participate throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly supports our students' well‑being and creativity.

Many students arrive at school without basic necessities like refillable water bottles, and they often rely on disposable cups or go without water during the day. Your support for our refillable water bottle project helps address that simple but important need.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, our students will learn to notice the needs of others and to think beyond themselves. We will discuss how something as simple as access to clean water affects comfort, focus, and well‑being. Students will reflect on what it might feel like to go without, and they will learn that small acts of kindness—like providing a refillable bottle—can make someone's day easier.\r\n\r\nStudents will take part in distributing refillable bottles to classmates and members of the school community. This hands‑on service teaches them that compassion requires action. As they give, they will see directly how their generosity relieves discomfort and supports both physical and emotional wellness. The project also reinforces sustainability: using refillable bottles reduces waste and demonstrates care for the environment.\r\n\r\nWe will measure success by observing changes in how students treat one another. I will look for more sharing, encouragement, and helping without prompting. Students will also complete reflective writing and join class discussions to define what compassion means to them and to describe the impact of their actions. As kindness, understanding, and teamwork grow, it will be clear that students are not only learning about compassion — they are living it.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting this project and helping our students put compassion into practice.","fullyFundedDate":1764438420335,"projectUrl":"project/filling-others-cups/9906512/","projectTitle":"Filling Others’ Cups","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571656_orig.jpg?crop=1411,1411,x473,y947&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728054434710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571656"},{"teacherId":9571656,"projectId":9906523,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom.
