Your support has made a meaningful difference in the way our students learn, play, and interact each day. \r\n\r\nThe bean bag seats have quickly become one of the most loved additions to our learning environment. We intentionally placed them in our cozy corner—an area designed for reading, quiet play, emotional regulation, and small-group activities. Each day, my students gravitate toward the seats during independent reading time, choosing them as their preferred spot to curl up with a book. Having soft, inviting seating allows the children to settle more easily into focused, calm engagement with stories. For many of them, this comfort makes books feel more approachable and enjoyable.","fullyFundedDate":1762969064578,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-reading-nook-for-happy-presc/9763114/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Reading Nook for Happy Preschoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vaughan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10058262"},{"teacherId":10058262,"projectId":9420741,"letterContent":"Words cannot express how grateful we are for your generous donation of emotional support toys to our classroom.
