Since I am a Title 1 Reading Specialist and only have 45 minutes with each group routines are crucial in utilizing our time efficiently. Having this table has enabled us to not only develop the space we need but the organization as well.\r\n\r\nThe students have loved using our new table in our new space and have commented several times on the fact it reminds them of macaroni. I think they may be food motivated. In all seriousness, having furniture that is comfortable makes their learning easier and much more productive. They are able to focus on the lesson and worry less about their surroundings. \r\n\r\nIt is with great pride and gratitude that I explain to my students how I was able to obtain the new table. Living in a community that is lacking in resources it is important for them to see there are people who care and support their educational journey. They, as well as I, am truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1744839340634,"projectUrl":"project/half-moon-equals-full-learning/9151874/","projectTitle":"Half Moon Equals Full Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Woodcock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4887645_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516039576690","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-woodcock2018"},{"teacherId":8091260,"projectId":9315696,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to our class.

It is the focal point of our classroom.\r\n\r\nHaving the main part of our classroom new, colorful, and cozy will definitely bring a new beginning to the year.
