Then they were able to take them home and share the joy there. It was great to be able to send some items home that correlated with things they had done at school and were excited about. Most items were things with meaning from throughout the year so that was a plus when seeing the smiles on faces.","fullyFundedDate":1746750528113,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-the-year-gifts-and-activities/9218414/","projectTitle":"End of the Year Gifts and Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4086350_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1496704459297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-winker"},{"teacherId":4086350,"projectId":9173930,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping provide incubators and other materials for our egg citing learning. The students had a fantastic time exploring the life cycle of a chicken and watching it happen right in front of their very own eyes. The new incubators allowed us to view the eggs much more clearly then we anticipated as the turning occurred within in. Because of this, we did not have to bother the eggs and risk their incubation. The materials provided made it possible to do this in four different classrooms this year al spanning grades 4K-5th grade.","fullyFundedDate":1742904862219,"projectUrl":"project/some-egg-citing-science-is-happening-in/9173930/","projectTitle":"Some Egg-citing Science Is Happening In Our Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4086350_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1496704459297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-winker"},{"teacherId":8570738,"projectId":9128078,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation towards our greenhouse and growing project.

They also loved returning in the fall and seeing that their marigolds grew in our planter box on the playground. They are still blooming!\r\n\r\nWe are hoping to make a schedule over the summer next year where families can come in and water, weed, and tend to our garden boxes.
