I couldn't wait to show my students the new clothes for our dramatic play area. They were so excited to see all of the different career costumes that were in the box. Our current dress up trunk has a few career costumes that are falling apart or missing pieces. The kids were in awe to see the brand new outfits that did not need to be pieced together or repaired. They could not wait for me to open all of the packages. They started telling one another which outfit they were going to wear first and their plans for their new clothes.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing my students with items that will help further their imagination and creative play.

When the big box arrived in my classroom, my students kept wondering what was inside the big box. I kept it a secret from them for over a week as I did not have the time to build the stand but it kept the anticipation high. \r\n\r\nMy students were so excited to finally see that we had a new big book stand that could easily roll around our classroom and over our carpet. They had been so use to me struggling to push it aside when we needed more room and they were so happy to see that now they could push the stand with ease.\r\n\r\nWe use our new big book stand every day and it is frequently the center of our lessons. It constantly holds our daily read alouds and the storage in the back is already filled with our favorite big books.

It has truly made our library that much better. Our previous carpet had been used for decades, so having a new one has been exciting for all of our students. The space now feels more comfortable and inviting, and the updated look has greatly improved the overall aesthetics of our library—making it feel refreshed, vibrant, and new. More importantly, it sends a powerful message to our students and school community that they are valued and worth good things. Students now have a welcoming place to gather for read-alouds, small group activities, and independent reading, helping create a stronger sense of community and focus.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we are continuing to build strong reading habits and create more interactive lessons where students can collaborate and share ideas. The carpet has become a central part of our daily routines, supporting both learning and connection.

Because of you, our new couches have already transformed the way students experience learning. From the moment they walked in and saw the space, their faces lit up with excitement—many immediately gravitated toward the couches, calling it \"our reading corner\" and asking when they could use it. Now, students regularly choose this area during independent reading and small group work. Recently, I watched a group of students curled up together on the couch, taking turns reading a story aloud and discussing the characters—completely engaged, comfortable, and connected. It truly felt like home.\r\n\r\nThis space has quickly become more than just a place to sit—it's a place where students feel safe, calm, and ready to learn. It's also been especially meaningful for students who need a quiet moment to reset, giving them a supportive environment to regulate and rejoin learning. As we continue our reading and writing work, students will use this space to dive deeper into partner reading, collaborative discussions, and personal storytelling. Your generosity has helped us build a classroom where students can bring their full selves each day, and we are so grateful for the warmth and care you've made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1767158831543,"projectUrl":"project/home-is-a-feeling-a-classroom-that-fee/9748532/","projectTitle":"Home is a Feeling: A Classroom that Feels like Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1015744_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760393378217","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1015744"},{"teacherId":2700950,"projectId":8488925,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Back-to-School supplies project through DonorsChoose.

When the box arrived I left it on my back patio for a few weeks before finding the time to build it. During that time my students were so curious about what was inside the mystery box.

We have not had the best weather for outdoor activities but sunny days are coming and I know that the table will be put to good use this spring. We just planted seeds this week so I expect that the table will be a place for them to be able to write their observations about the growth of the plants.
