Knowing that you funded the entire project is something I don't take lightly, and I want you to know how meaningful that has been for my classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen I returned to the classroom in August, I was starting with very little, and I honestly felt unsure of how I would make the space feel like a true classroom again. Because of you, I was able to begin the year with a room that felt warm, organized, and ready for students from the very first day.\r\n\r\nThe bins, storage, bulletin board paper, and especially the plush rug and pillows you provided have become part of our daily classroom life. Students use the rug and cushions every day while reading, working independently, or taking a quiet moment to focus. It has become a space where they feel comfortable, grounded, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nOn days when teaching feels especially heavy, looking around the room and seeing students settled, focused, and comfortable reminds me why this work matters so much.\r\n\r\nWhat you provided went far beyond supplies. You helped create a classroom environment where students feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. You also gave me peace of mind as a teacher, allowing me to focus on teaching and building relationships instead of worrying about what my classroom was missing.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the importance of a classroom environment that truly supports learning. Your generosity has had a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are grateful for it every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1752696402052,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-bright-and-organized-4th-grad/9423177/","projectTitle":"Building a Bright and Organized 4th Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10059674_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750812296125","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10059674"},{"teacherId":7121623,"projectId":8875039,"letterContent":"I want to say thank you very much.
