(I added bee keychains and a welcome to my classroom bracelet as well.) Each student was excited to get the goodie bag to take home after they got to meet me. \r\n\r\n I truly do not know what I would do without the fabulous donors like YOU that help me be able to add some fun things for my precious students.

From anonymous donors, parents, family members, etc each one of you have played a huge role in my classrooms welcoming environment. \r\n\r\nMy students have loved every minute of having our classroom carpet. By participating in heartfelt morning meetings, brain breaks, instruction times, and so much more from this location students have felt surrounded and safe when they come to my carpet. It's not a place for judgement or fear, but a place where we are all one and we come together to learn and share anything from curriculum to what they are going through in their personal lives. \r\n\r\nI will never forget the moment we unboxed that carpet. It was a core memory with my very first class. Watching the meter go up daily and asking friends and family to support my class. Students were so excited when they found out it was fully funded. When the box came and we were finally able to unbox it was like Christmas morning with 18 children! I never knew all the memories that moment would bring me!\r\n\r\nToday our carpet is still an inviting space for students. They love to go to it to learn and I can't wait to make new memories and conversation with all my students to come on our magic carpet.","fullyFundedDate":1708715218323,"projectUrl":"project/magic-classroom-carpet/8235272/","projectTitle":"Magic Classroom Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Worley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9474863"},{"teacherId":4700,"projectId":9006794,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your help with funding the bubble gum and puzzles for my students to use and enjoy in the classroom.

Now 90% of my students are completing their homework each night compared to 50% before I had asked for the bubble gum. \r\n\r\n The puzzles have also been such a wonderful addition to my classroom. My students absolutely LOVE getting to work with partners and put the puzzles together, especially on days when we cannot go outside. In fact, some ask to please stay inside to work on the puzzles instead of going outside. \r\n\r\n I truly appreciate your generosity and kindness.

You would be so surprised! They all can't wait for their turn to use the vacuum at school to help keep our classroom clean and tidy! That is truly a life lesson! \r\n The water bottles have also been such a huge help with helping me make sure each student has fresh and clean water to drink throughout the day.
