We started a new curriculum this year and are working hard to design more play areas that are related to our new units. One of the new units we will be learning about is \"Geography and the World Around Us\". We learn so much through play and experiences, so we are VERY excited to have a new Airport for dramatic play with these fun materials that you have purchased for our classroom. \r\nWe will be starting this unit in the February. Students will get to create a plane side out of cardboard with cut-out windows. There will be a cockpit with controls for the pilot, dress up materials for the pilot and stewardess, a luggage check, a world map to show where students are traveling, passports and country stamps to show the places students have visited, and several other learning opportunities to practice new vocabulary.\r\nWe plan to use this play area as an informal assessment for the geography unit. Students often share more of their learning through play and conversation than on a paper-pencil test. We will continue to get creative with adding more dramatic play options for students to explore. We are so grateful for your support and really appreciate your generous donation!","fullyFundedDate":1758805615011,"projectUrl":"project/up-up-and-away-in-4k/9574636/","projectTitle":"Up, Up and Away in 4K!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krueger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5968908_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732053441946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5968908"},{"teacherId":8277625,"projectId":9128593,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom projects.

Thanks to your help, each student will be able to grow multiple plants and learn valuable real-world skills. \r\nMy students were thrilled to see the boxes of resources arrive in our classroom. Our plants unit is always a highly anticipated topic, and these supplies will add to the excitement. My students were so grateful for the support!\r\nLooking forward, we will utilize these resources to expand our knowledge and learn about various types of plants. We will also learn how to care for plants and practice responsible behavior. Hands-on experiences definitely help material stick for my students. \r\nThank you again for your support.

When we first introduced the headphones, the whole class couldn't wait to try them—smiles spread across the room as students discovered how much easier it was to tune in to their own ideas. Now that we've cultivated a safe, supportive space, about 5–10 students from each class regularly choose to use the headphones during work time, while others visit the quiet corner to regroup before jumping back into their art.\r\n\r\nThese tools have transformed the atmosphere of our room. Students who once struggled to settle into projects are learning that taking a short break or using the headphones can help them return ready to work. I've watched children slip them on, take a steadying breath, and dive back into building sculptures, drawing, or painting with a new sense of calm and focus. The materials stay available every day, teaching the valuable lesson that caring for ourselves is part of doing our best creative work.\r\n\r\nYour support made this possible. Because of you, our art room is not only a place for making beautiful things, but also a place where students practice self-regulation, persistence, and confidence. Thank you for helping my young artists build skills that will benefit them far beyond the studio.","fullyFundedDate":1753238030224,"projectUrl":"project/art-room-regulation-station/9462610/","projectTitle":"Art Room Regulation Station","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baeten","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079216_orig.png?crop=200,200,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752517168208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ktb8n"},{"teacherId":5264752,"projectId":9395649,"letterContent":"My students are so lucky to have such wonderful and generous donors!
