They were bursting with excitement as the packages were arriving daily and were so eager to see it all come to life. The look on all of their faces was priceless when they saw all of it put together and ready to use. \r\n\r\nWe use these items regularly during our fine motor stations. It is an engaging way to work on so many fine motor skills. The first time that they got to use sensory bins was so special. They were so excited and proud of all of their creations. It is amazing to see their creativity shine! \r\n\r\nI am so excited to use these bins all year and for the years to come. I plan to make the bins holiday themed around the different holidays. We can incorporate so much vocabulary into our hands on learning by doing this. I would love to get more materials for the bins, especially different options for fillers. The fun and learning is never ending.\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and for making this happen for us!","fullyFundedDate":1748368043696,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-table-treasures/9271650/","projectTitle":"Sensory Table Treasures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kreul","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10004740"},{"teacherId":9966951,"projectId":9265600,"letterContent":"The moment the materials arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement.

We're already using them daily during reading groups, independent work time, and partner activities. Up next, we'll be using these tools as part of a group writing project where students will collaborate and create their own class book.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students the gift of a space where they feel comfortable, motivated, and excited to learn.
