When I first started, I inherited the room with old, hand-me-down carpets. Over time, I've replaced them one by one—often paying for them myself—so my students could have a clean, welcoming space to learn and play. This project was the final carpet we needed, and I'm so grateful it was fully funded thanks to your generosity!\r\nThe new carpet is soft pastel colors covered in happy smiley faces, and my students absolutely love it. The day we rolled it out, they couldn't wait to start jumping from smile to smile, giggling as they made up little games together. It's quickly become our favorite place for circle time, reading, and play.\r\nYour support has helped make our classroom a warm, joyful space where children feel comfortable, connected, and excited to learn every day. Thank you for helping make our classroom feel like home.","fullyFundedDate":1755711111189,"projectUrl":"project/home-away-from-home-for-my-head-start-cl/9580154/","projectTitle":"Home Away From Home for My Head Start Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chelby and Ms. Jade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9830219_orig.jpg?crop=2045,2045,x0,y340&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755014575310","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9830219"},{"teacherId":9350029,"projectId":7991971,"letterContent":"With all the fresh fallen snow we are able to get the snowshoes out and start having children use them.
