As soon as the new materials arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement, they could hardly believe these resources were really for them. Many gathered around the boxes, pointing out items they recognized or were eager to try, and several students immediately asked, \"Can we use them today?\"\r\nI watched students collaborate, problem-solve, and stay engaged far longer than usual. One student who is usually hesitant to participate jumped right in and proudly shared their work with the class. Moments like that are the reason these materials matter so deeply.\r\nAs for what's next, the class is now working on writing tricky words in the correct formation, and these resources will play a big role in helping them. My students are eager to keep exploring, building, and learning, and your support has opened doors that would not have been possible otherwise.\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom. Your kindness has made a real difference, and we can't wait to share more of our progress with you.","fullyFundedDate":1758231637683,"projectUrl":"project/color-create-and-learn-kinder-essenti/9479391/","projectTitle":"Color, Create, and Learn: Kinder Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sargent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10084513_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752880127259","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-bsargent"},{"teacherId":6703276,"projectId":6588385,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our classroom decor. The students were overjoyed with the way the classroom looked. They had different comments every day for about two weeks. The environment really matters and strongly influences the child's feelings and thoughts about learning. I am all about creating a safe and inviting setting for student learning. The students were excited to visit each area during station time. Each station had a different rug and decor that made the students excited to learn in those particular spaces. This could not have been done without.

The clicker is working wonders for me, as it provides more flexibility in my classroom presentations. The students are enjoying it because they can follow along with the reading in a more concise and meaningful way.
