Because of you, my students now have access to high-quality art materials that allow them to fully explore their creativity instead of being limited by supplies. We've already begun using these resources in a mixed-media art project where students experiment with line, texture, and color to tell personal stories through their artwork. Having the right tools has empowered them to take risks, slow down, and truly engage in the artistic process.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement in the room was immediate and contagious. Students gathered around the boxes with wide eyes and eager questions, carefully touching the supplies and imagining what they could create. Several students exclaimed that they felt like \"real artists,\" and I watched even my more hesitant artists gain confidence simply by having access to materials that showed their work mattered.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on these skills as we move into a new unit focused on creative problem-solving and self-expression. They'll be using these supplies to plan, revise, and reflect on their work—learning that art is not just about the final product, but about thinking, experimenting, and growing. Your generosity has made it possible for my students to imagine bigger, create freely, and see themselves as capable, creative individuals. Thank you for being a meaningful part of our classroom story.","fullyFundedDate":1768442984612,"projectUrl":"project/supplying-young-artists-with-big-imagina/10014589/","projectTitle":"Supplying Young Artists with Big Imaginations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Strelow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045523"},{"teacherId":5605683,"projectId":10040502,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. I am so excited to share how impactful your donation has already been for our students!\r\n\r\nThe day the sensory table materials arrived, the kids could hardly contain their excitement. They were eager to explore, create, and engage, and the materials have provided wonderful opportunities for hands-on learning, collaboration, and sensory exploration. It has been amazing to see how focused, calm, and happy they are while using them.\r\n\r\nStudents are using the white boards to practice important skills, try new strategies, and build confidence without fear of making mistakes. The white boards have encouraged participation from every student and have made learning even more interactive and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1769214427281,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-sensory-tools-white/10040502/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning: Sensory Tools & Whiteboards for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5605683_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533437133680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sanchezkinder"},{"teacherId":9333640,"projectId":9988501,"letterContent":"Since receiving the materials, my students have been using them daily during learning centers, small-group instruction, and storytelling time. One of our favorite moments so far was during a science and language lesson using the ocean and farm animal collections. Students worked together to sort animals by habitat and then used the figures to retell simple stories. Several of my students who are typically hesitant to speak began labeling animals, making sounds, and initiating play with peers using the figures.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, my students were beyond excited. They immediately gathered around as we opened them, pointing, smiling, and naming animals they recognized. One student hugged the giant bug figures, while others eagerly reached for the magnetic pattern blocks and block people. The hands-on nature of the materials instantly captured their attention and helped them feel motivated to participate in learning activities.\r\n\r\nNext, we are using these materials as part of an ongoing unit focused on animals, habitats, and storytelling. Students will continue practicing vocabulary, counting, sorting, and story sequencing using the animal sets and the Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? storytelling kit. We are also beginning simple building challenges with the pattern blocks and community people to encourage cooperative play and problem-solving. These resources are helping my students grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally, as they learn how to communicate, share, and work together.","fullyFundedDate":1768400081137,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-tools-for-curious-pres/9988501/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning Tools for Curious Preschoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9333640_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y213&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698850981698","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kira-carrillo"},{"teacherId":441971,"projectId":9986715,"letterContent":"Your donations are allowing us to experience hands-on piloting skills using aerial drones in our classroom!

Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase craft resources that allowed students to create candles and soaps using herbs and natural elements connected to our club's work. These materials helped transform our club into a space where students could learn through creativity, teamwork, and real-world application. One of the most exciting classroom moments was watching students carefully measure, mix, and create their own handmade items while encouraging one another and taking pride in their work.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new supplies, their reactions were full of excitement and curiosity. Many students couldn't believe they would get to make products like \"real candle makers\" and \"soap makers.\" They were eager to get started, and the project immediately increased engagement—students who sometimes struggle to stay focused were motivated and participating from start to finish. Using the materials you funded, students worked together to make candles to sell at our most recent farmers market. This experience gave them a powerful sense of ownership and confidence because they weren't just creating a craft—they were creating something purposeful that could be shared with the community.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue creating candles and soaps as part of an ongoing project focused on learning life skills such as following multi-step directions, collaboration, and problem-solving. We plan to expand into more student-made items and participate in future farmers markets so students can continue building pride, responsibility, and communication skills while representing our school in the community.

The stepping stones and gross motor tools provided through this project have given our students safe, structured opportunities to work on essential developmental skills such as motor planning, balance, coordination, and core strength.\r\n\r\nOur students now engage in outdoor obstacle courses that encourage jumping, balancing, sequencing movements, and taking turns with peers. These activities support not only physical development but also social skills and confidence as students learn to wait, watch others, and celebrate their own successes. For many of our learners, the stepping stones have become a preferred activity that motivates participation and persistence.\r\n\r\nFor students with autism, movement is also a critical tool for sensory regulation. Having access to purposeful gross motor equipment has allowed us to offer calming sensory breaks throughout the day, helping students regulate their bodies, improve focus, and remain engaged during classroom activities. We've seen students return from outdoor play more centered, ready to learn, and proud of what their bodies can do.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped us create a more inclusive, movement-rich outdoor environment where every child can build strength, confidence, and independence.
