My Pre-K students were particularly excited to meet our new robot Botley. Our first activity with Botley was a math number recognition lesson. I'm so excited that we are able to use these new resources across content areas. Our new water and sand table has been used in literacy for letter matching with fishing reels and in science while learning about our senses and the world around us.

We are all so happy to see our collection of Spanish books slowly grow, embracing our literacy in both languages.

During this time we learn using games. Students are not only learning how to play games but they are learning to follow rules, take turns, share, work together, problem solve, use critical thinking skills, and so much more. Students at this age learn best through play and thanks to your donations my students have been given this wonderful opportunity to learn and play.\r\n\r\nThe boxes were delivered to my classroom during circle time and placed on the edge of the carpet. My students eyes went wide and the questions began- \"What is in the boxes?\" Is it for us?\" The questions were never ending. When the questions slowed I explained that yes, what is in the boxes was for them. The students took turns trying to guess what was inside before I began opening the boxes. They could not believe that these games were for them to play at school. For some of my students this was their first experience with this type of games. I explained each game and showed them how it was played. Then students were paired up and allowed to play the games as my para and I floated among the groups and giving feedback and suggestions as needed. My students were very appreciative for the games. A highlight for me was when I pulled a group to the side to play Candyland with me. They quickly caught on to the rules and were so excited that one of them actually won against the teacher. Words cannot express the love, gratitude, and heartfelt thanks for your donation to my students.","fullyFundedDate":1738345983143,"projectUrl":"project/learning-using-board-games/9038739/","projectTitle":"Learning Using Board Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1512520_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728839155089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/salandra-williams"},{"teacherId":1512520,"projectId":8869696,"letterContent":"When my students saw the boxes they immediately wanted to know what was inside. I explained that the boxes contained items to help them learn. They were excited to learn that someone would send items to help them learn and asked did I tell them thank you. I told them I would.\r\nMy students are excited to go to the different workstations to use the new materials. The alphabet locks and the number locks are very popular and very powerful learning tools. The cubes are helping my young students learn to count, add, subtract and measure. I just want to express how grateful I am to you for providing my students with materials to provide hands on learning.","fullyFundedDate":1730910332385,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning/8869696/","projectTitle":"Hands on Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1512520_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728839155089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/salandra-williams"},{"teacherId":1512520,"projectId":8444499,"letterContent":"As the boxes were brought into my classroom, my students' excitement was growing and curiosity was palpable. Students begged to open the boxes right away, but I explained we would open the boxes when everything was delivered. On the day that the last box was delivered my students were overjoyed. Students eagerly helped open each box. As each book was revealed they would shout and clap and say they can't wait to read the book. They continued this for every book that was in each box.\r\nMy students eagerly await their turn to go to the library station to get to experience the books. Students look at the pictures to tell a story, they look for words and letters that they know, and they love to read to others. I also use the books to work with students in small groups to build a strong foundation for reading. Your generosity has allowed my students to have confidence and take the steps to becoming readers by sounding out words, and identifying sight words.","fullyFundedDate":1727979921945,"projectUrl":"project/books-please/8444499/","projectTitle":"Books Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1512520_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728839155089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/salandra-williams"},{"teacherId":1512520,"projectId":8437934,"letterContent":"Teaching young learners it is imperative that I teach the importance of writing and its relationship to learning to read.
