Thanks to your donations, our classroom now features six beautifully built bookshelves that serve as the heart of our outside reading book library. These shelves, now filled with books generously donated by the district, parents, students, and teachers, offer a wide range of reading opportunities for our learners. What makes them even more special is that they were built by our very own robotics students, who came together to assemble them with skill and teamwork—making this project a true labor of love from our school community.\r\n\r\nTo further enhance the space, we've added neon lights, including a \"Cool Vibes\" sign, to create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere. The addition of a modern desk and chair for conferencing has provided students with a professional and comfortable setting for discussions, while new curtains, rugs, and extra shelving have made the room feel like a space where students can settle in for long periods of reading, collaboration, and creative work. Your generosity has truly transformed our classroom into a space that fosters both productivity and connection, and we cannot thank you enough for making this vision a reality!","fullyFundedDate":1737052967891,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-reboot-part-2/9016996/","projectTitle":"Classroom Reboot Part 2!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fregoso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1896007_orig.jpg?crop=2721,2721,x50,y786&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734897145131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1896007"},{"teacherId":1896007,"projectId":9090063,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible support in helping us transform our senior-level project classroom into a dynamic, collaborative workspace. With your contributions, we've not only been able to reboot the classroom with flexible furniture and warm lighting, but we've also added a Nespresso coffee maker, creating a space that feels like a professional, creative hub. Now, students can gather, sip coffee, and engage in meaningful discussions while working on their independent projects—just like in a real-world office setting. This small but impactful addition has fostered a sense of maturity, responsibility, and camaraderie, making our classroom a place where ideas flow as easily as the coffee.\r\n\r\nWe are also deeply grateful for your support in expanding our outside reading program with new books, which are now housed in our school library for students to explore. These books offer students the freedom to discover new genres, perspectives, and ideas beyond the traditional curriculum, sparking curiosity and a lifelong love of reading. Because of your generosity, our students not only have a space to work but also a wealth of literature to inspire them. Thank you for making this vision a reality and for investing in the learning and growth of our students in such a meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1740972668149,"projectUrl":"project/final-touch-room-reboot/9090063/","projectTitle":"Final Touch: Room Reboot!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fregoso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1896007_orig.jpg?crop=2721,2721,x50,y786&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734897145131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1896007"},{"teacherId":1896007,"projectId":9000482,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generous support in making our classroom a more comfortable, engaging, and inviting space! Thanks to you, my students now have cozy rugs, rolling desk chairs, and calming ambient lighting that have completely transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students walked in and saw the changes, their faces lit up with excitement! There were gasps, cheers, and even a few happy dances as they rushed to try out the new chairs and sink their feet into the soft rugs. One student exclaimed, \"This feels like a whole new classroom!\"—and that's exactly what it feels like.\r\n\r\nNow, students can move around easily with the rolling chairs, collaborate more comfortably, and stay engaged longer without feeling restless. The rugs have created inviting spaces for small group discussions and independent reading, while the ambient lighting helps set a relaxed and focused mood for learning. These simple but powerful changes have made a world of difference in how my students experience their classroom each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is not just a place for learning—it's a space where students feel comfortable, motivated, and inspired.
