I love that my students and their families will have this memory to look back on when their child is older and not in kindergarten anymore. It is great to have everything in one convenient place and already put together. The kids love adding things to it and I love how they already look at it and have such great memories of things we have done so far this year.","fullyFundedDate":1755733235823,"projectUrl":"project/celebrate-good-times-in-k/9449396/","projectTitle":"Celebrate Good Times In K!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Renslow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3520713_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510464453537","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3520713"},{"teacherId":10046463,"projectId":9407064,"letterContent":"I am so grateful that there are people that are willing to donate to my classroom library.
