We love the sensory alphabet toys which help keep PLAY an essential part of our learning in PreK at Thurgood Marshall. \r\nWhen I introduce new material to the children, I place the item in the \"Mystery box\" and we sing a song to build their wonder about the mystery item. They take turns guessing the item, then we countdown and revel the item in the box. Then we teach the children how to use and care for the learning material. We did this for each of the items recieved in our Donors choose project and the children we so excited. Not only were they excited to see the toys for the first time, but also, the children continue to enjoy selecting these materials to enjoy throughout the year. Some of our class favorites are the sensory Tactile letters and the Fishing rods that hey use to go fishing for magnetic numbers and letters.\r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1651792142969,"projectUrl":"project/building-learners-one-letter-at-a-time/6451601/","projectTitle":"Building Learners One Letter at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eager Weir","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8443074_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651533130605","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8443074"},{"teacherId":9680777,"projectId":9624025,"letterContent":"My students and I sincerely thank you for your kind, empathic and impactful donation to our classroom.
