With that being said, I want to take the time to say thank you to everyone who thought it not robbery to allow my class to have new toys! My students are ecstatic about their new toys (builders) and can't wait to play with them daily! They actually cheer when they can go into centers. They no longer play with the old toys; they only pull out all the new builders they now have!\r\n\r\nThese builder sets have done more than add fun to our playtime. The new builders have sparked rich conversations, strengthened fine motor skills, and encouraged cooperation. The students are so excited and eager to show us what they have created. Your kindness has given our students new tools to imagine, explore, and learn. We are deeply grateful for your support—it's made our classroom a place where big ideas (and big towers!) come to life every day.","fullyFundedDate":1750423171262,"projectUrl":"project/best-builders/9364173/","projectTitle":"Best Builders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Money","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10038135"},{"teacherId":8498093,"projectId":8595135,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing our classroom with these wonderful materials.
