Your donation has made a significant and positive impact on the learning environment in my classroom. These additions not only enhanced the physical space but also improved student engagement, comfort, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThe stools provide a much-needed flexible seating options, allowing students to take ownership of their learning by choosing where and how they work best. This flexibility encourages movement, supports different learning styles, and helps students stay more focused and engaged during lessons. Many students gravitate toward the stools for independent work or group tasks, and the novelty and comfort of the seating contributed to a more positive attitude toward classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThe rug transformed a portion of the room into a warm, inviting space that quickly became a hub for shared learning experiences. It is used daily for morning meetings, read-alouds, small group discussions, and partner work. \r\n\r\n\r\nTogether, the donated stools and rug play an important role in fostering a student-centered environment. They support both academic and social-emotional learning by making the room more inclusive, engaging, and responsive to students' needs. I'm incredibly grateful for these thoughtful contributions, as they make a real difference in the day-to-day learning experience for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758802845586,"projectUrl":"project/sit-share-shine-building-a-better-cla/9724271/","projectTitle":"Sit, Share, Shine: Building a Better Classroom Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4195934"},{"teacherId":5543088,"projectId":9260560,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our classroom project last year.

The carpet created a welcoming space where we could all come together for discussions, read-alouds, and partner activities. The stools gave students a sense of choice and ownership—they loved having a special place to gather in smaller groups. Their reactions showed me just how much they value flexible spaces that make learning feel more comfortable and engaging.\r\n\r\nWe've already used both areas for collaborative projects. On the carpet, students worked in pairs to solve math word problems using whiteboards, sharing strategies and checking each other's work. At the back table with the stools, small groups collaborated on a science experiment about how the Earth rotates and revolves, taking notes together and discussing observations. These moments showed how both spaces encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and communication.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources to support ongoing lessons. In math, students will use the carpet for \"turn and talk\" problem-solving sessions, while the back table will serve as a space for project-based activities and peer tutoring. My goal is for students to see both areas as collaboration hubs where they can learn from one another and share ideas","fullyFundedDate":1755739038440,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom/9494686/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9682027_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753305926108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682027"},{"teacherId":5543088,"projectId":8720934,"letterContent":"The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has been an amazing resource for our classroom.
