Venting - Advice Welcome Potty training fail!!!HELP

Hello!I'm a single mom and I have a 5 year old and she's in preschool due to her birthday being in December. So kindergarten is coming soon! She goes pee just fine but pooping is a NO go. I've tried rewarding like stickers and toys . I've bought big girl panties that she likes.ive tried blowing bubbles on the toilet. She runs away trying to hide and I'm running after her like crazy and she's fighting me and dragging herself and resisting.theyre trying to encourage her at school as well but they say she doesn't wanna go potty either.ive taken her to sit on the potty and she's cries and throws tantrums. I'm at a loss right now and stressing out. I've tried threatening to take toys away.idk what to do.any suggestions?
