Being able to access multiple students at a time that are on varying levels has made such a difference. The students love having a designated space to work on projects or activities. With 15 students, it's so much easier to pull groups of similar levels and work solely with those groups. I pulled four students that are on the same level to study with my on letters and their sounds. They were so much more engaged because they were facing me and had a spot away from the rest of the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746785535476,"projectUrl":"project/building-relationships/9134087/","projectTitle":"Building Relationships","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Browning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9802923_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739653830264","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9802923"},{"teacherId":9802923,"projectId":8875681,"letterContent":"The materials provided have made a huge impact within my classroom.

The students have expressed such gratitude towards not only the material donations, but the food as well. Some students look forward to our snack greatly, as it may be one of the last nutritious foods they receive for that day. The elastic bands have been such a big help in insuring students are not leaning back in their chairs and falling, but instead bouncing on those to release pent up energy. I cannot put into words how grateful we are to have received such support for our classroom. My students and I appreciate it more than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1735513239908,"projectUrl":"project/brownings-very-first-classroom/8875681/","projectTitle":"Brownings Very First Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Browning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9802923_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739653830264","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9802923"},{"teacherId":5435812,"projectId":8430265,"letterContent":"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for blessing us with the gift of a new reading rug.
