All of the students were excited when it arrived in the box and even more excited when it was put together. \r\nAs a class we brainstormed about the supplies that would be most useful around the classroom and together we organized the mobile cart to fit our learning needs. The mobile cart is safe enough and so easy for students to push around if needed. One day we did a group activity and moving the mobile cart to the center of the carpet area encouraged more engagement and participation to get the project done. \r\nIn addition, the bins and containers helped with organizing supplies so students can practice putting things away in the right place and experience an organized space that is helping for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1771788329223,"projectUrl":"project/learn-here-learn-there-learn-anywhere/10109115/","projectTitle":"Learn Here, Learn There, Learn Anywhere!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bongo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8357033_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771564465023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8357033"},{"teacherId":8974487,"projectId":10107805,"letterContent":"The plastic magazine bins have helped us to organize our room so much!
