The umbrella hats were used in a sorting syllables station and also worn by students for fun. The rainbow toys, weather counters, and stacking blocks are also a lot of fun.

Being PreK, we kept it simple and helped those that needed support. Each student 'hunted' for eggs numbered 1-10. Then as a class they were told, \"Open the #1 egg. Now open #2.\" etc. It was a lot of fun! They loved getting the candy, Play-Doh egg, slime egg, light up flashing rubber chick, squishy axolotl and other items. \r\nThank you for helping my class practice number skills in a fun way. It was a celebration and a lesson at the same time. Hearing students say \"Thank you!\" was heart-warming, as they packed up a bag of fun toys and treats.","fullyFundedDate":1774931133767,"projectUrl":"project/number-recognition-egg-hunt/10119217/","projectTitle":"Number Recognition Egg Hunt!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mattox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp233318_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449113388327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/imkre8ive"},{"teacherId":233318,"projectId":9955267,"letterContent":"We had a wonderful Lunar New Year celebration last Tuesday!
