The jellyfish have been a great add to the classroom aesthetics. It makes the environment more fun. I have received many compliments on them from parents. The carpet has also been a great addition. My students enjoy getting time to read together. We have our morning meetings at the carpet as well. The disc has been a great addition to the calming space. Many utilize that when they need a minute to themselves. I appreciate you helping my classroom and my students.

The items came in handy on so many levels. The children who did not have scarves and mittens were especially grateful. The coats were so warm, and the hats were adorable. \r\n\r\nThe children were so excited when they saw all of the awesome winter outer wear. They loved the variety of colors. They were very happy to have those items on the coldest days with one of our coldest winters ever \r\n\r\nThe children used every material donated for this project. They told me that they were going to use these items next school year, too.","fullyFundedDate":1769282379502,"projectUrl":"project/toasty-tots-keeping-my-kindergatners-w/10050833/","projectTitle":"Toasty Tots - Keeping My Kindergatners Warm","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Spagnolo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5467953_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763509395634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5467953"},{"teacherId":10346681,"projectId":9885655,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of board games and beanbag chairs to our elementary library. We thoughtfully implemented these materials by creating a flexible seating and game area that students can use during library time, small groups, and indoor recess. This space has quickly become a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable and excited to participate.\r\n\r\nThrough the addition of board games, students are developing important skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. The beanbag chairs have also provided a cozy, calming space for reading and relaxing, helping students stay focused and supported throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enhanced our library and enriched our students' experiences.

My students and I have loved the resources you purchased. Two of our favorite items are the science viemasters with wildlife and sealife cards and the butterfly kit. We had an unreasonably nice October, and we were able to release the butterflies around my birthday, which made it especially significant to me. \r\n\r\nMy students were super excited when I unboxed all of the resources, but they definitely showed the most enthusiasm toward the caterpillars. They couldn't wait to learn about them and see how they were developing inside their chryslyses.\r\n\r\nAnother favorite were the magnetic wands and bingo chips. I swear they would play with those for hours if I'd let them. It never ceases to amaze them how quickly they can clean those up when indoor recess is over.\r\n\r\nMy next steps are to make a little summer resource packet reviewing the STEM concepts we learned. That way, I hope to prevent the summer slide with something fun for them to do.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
