Teaching little learners at this age is such a joyful adventure, and I am deeply committed to creating a space where every child can explore, imagine, create, and feel proud of who they are in both of their languages. Your generosity brought materials into our room that immediately sparked curiosity and hands-on discovery—two things I value immensely as an educator.\r\n\r\nThe moment I placed the new resources on our tables, my students gravitated toward them with excitement. They touched, built, sorted, experimented, and talked—switching naturally between English and Spanish as they made sense of what was in front of them. These materials didn't just support language development; they opened doors for problem-solving, storytelling, and creative expression. I watched students collaborate, invent new games, and share ideas with a confidence I hadn't seen before.\r\n\r\nAs someone who believes deeply in learning-by-doing, these tools have allowed me to design richer, more meaningful experiences during centers and small groups. My students are more engaged because they feel the learning with their hands, not just hear it. They are building early literacy and math skills through play, exploration, and imagination—exactly the kind of learning that helps young children thrive.\r\n\r\nBut what has meant the most to me is seeing how these materials empower students who are still finding their voice. Children who were once hesitant are now eager to participate because the hands-on approach lets them show what they know in ways that feel safe and joyful. Every day, I see sparks of creativity—tiny masterpieces, inventive solutions, and bold attempts at new language. These are the moments that remind me why this work matters so much.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing not just in our classroom, but in the power of creativity, bilingualism, and hands-on learning. Your support will echo in the confidence and curiosity my students carry forward long after this project is complete.","fullyFundedDate":1757511152200,"projectUrl":"project/little-learners-big-ideas-engaging-cen/9476762/","projectTitle":"Little Learners, Big Ideas: Engaging Centers for Every Theme","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bracho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8815502_orig.jpg?crop=389,389,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752893725882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8815502"},{"teacherId":4673290,"projectId":9460470,"letterContent":"Sonic Team, I am writing this letter with deep gratitude and heartfelt appreciation for your generous donation of a rug to my kindergarten classroom. Your donation has made a meaningful and lasting impact on both me and my students, and I want to take a moment to share just how much it has meant to all of us.\r\n\r\nThe rug immediately became the heart of our classroom. It is the central gathering place for morning meetings, storytime, group discussions, and collaborative learning activities.\r\n\r\nKindergarten is such a special and formative time in a child's life. It's where they first begin to discover the joy of learning, the importance of friendship, and the foundations of their academic journey. Having a designated, inviting space like the rug to bring everyone together helps build that sense of community and connection that is so vital at this age. The rug helps give our classroom structure, creating a clear place where students know they belong and where learning happens.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity. We are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1757511111017,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-and-engaging-circle-time-space/9460470/","projectTitle":"Cozy and Engaging Circle Time Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Solis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4673290_orig.jpg?crop=225,225,x15,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726421277787","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/r-solisnorsse"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9485","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":803,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":9485,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Memorial Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Memorial Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/katy-independent-school-district/west-memorial-elementary-school/9485"}
