We celebrated a beach week, ice cream week and bubble week with these items. They were super excited each day to see what would be next. \r\n\r\nWe made our own homemade bubbles and bubble wands, played lots of beach themed games and had beach prizes and even had an ice cream party. The donations are very much appreciated and their smiles were priceless. This group of kids is so appreciative. \r\n\r\nWith alot of the items being reusable, I plan to do the same thing at the end of each school year!","fullyFundedDate":1743276593795,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-the-year-first-grade-review-fun/9213048/","projectTitle":"End of the Year First Grade Review Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whirley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9610073_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722043431692","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610073"},{"teacherId":8687884,"projectId":8497300,"letterContent":"When students first encountered the new materials, their responses were filled with excitement and curiosity. Many expressed enthusiasm about the vibrant visuals and interactive elements, which sparked discussions among peers. Some students eagerly explored the resources, sharing their findings with one another, while others took a moment to reflect on how these materials could enhance their understanding of the subject matter.\r\nAs we progress through the current classroom lesson or project, the next steps for the students involve deeper engagement with the content. They will participate in group activities that allow them to collaborate and apply what they have learned. This will include hands-on projects where they can experiment with the materials in a practical context, fostering both critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, students will be encouraged to set personal goals related to the lesson, promoting ownership of their learning process.\r\nThe implementation of the new resources has been a transformative experience for both the students and myself as an educator. A specific moment that stands out was during a recent class activity where students were tasked with creating a presentation on a topic of their choice. They utilized the new materials to show their understanding. This not only facilitated the development of their research and presentation skills but also allowed them to express their individual perspectives on the topics they were passionate about. The integration of these resources has undoubtedly enriched our learning environment, making lessons more dynamic and engaging.","fullyFundedDate":1728312618336,"projectUrl":"project/get-into-gear-for-a-groovy-year/8497300/","projectTitle":"Get Into Gear for a Groovy Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kassie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8687884_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721417162567","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8687884"},{"teacherId":9603612,"projectId":8512841,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well.
