Thanks to your generosity, my classroom has been transformed from a tired, cluttered space into a vibrant, organized, and truly welcoming home for learning.\r\n\r\nThe Impact of Your Contribution\r\nYour donations funded three key elements that have revolutionized our space:\r\n\r\nA New, Cheerful Rug: We received a wonderful, large rug featuring smiley faces, perfectly matching our \"Smiler\" school mascot. This rug has instantly become our favorite gathering spot. It creates a soft, inviting anchor for our whole group lessons and discussions, making group work feel more collaborative and cozy. Students gravitate toward it, and the cheerful design brings an immediate sense of happiness and positivity to the start of every day.\r\n\r\nEssential Shelving: The addition of new shelves has given us dedicated storage space. This means less clutter and more dedicated space for learning activities.\r\n\r\nOrganization and Access: The new bins and organizational tools have been a game-changer, especially for our shared math materials. Everything the students need to access regularly—from manipulatives to art supplies—is now clearly labeled and within easy reach.\r\n\r\nThe Positive Change We See Daily\r\nThe impact of this refresh goes far beyond just appearance:\r\n\r\nIncreased Student Ownership: Because materials are so much easier to find and put away, my students are taking more pride and responsibility in keeping our shared space neat and tidy. The classroom is staying organized throughout the day, which means we spend more time learning and less time searching.\r\n\r\nA Sense of Value: For me personally, this refresh has provided a powerful feeling of being supported and valued. Walking into a bright, organized space every morning is a huge boost to my energy, helping me be a more present and enthusiastic teacher for my students.\r\n\r\nA True \"Home Away From Home\": Most importantly, the classroom now feels like a warm and inviting community hub. The \"Smiler\" rug makes every student feel welcome and ready to engage.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and in my classroom. Your kindness has not only refreshed a physical space but has also re-energized a teaching career and created a significantly better learning environment for every child who walks through my door.\r\n\r\nWith Deepest Thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1758245700884,"projectUrl":"project/from-worn-to-wonderful-transforming-cla/9580242/","projectTitle":"From Worn to Wonderful: Transforming Classroom Spaces","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Denten","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp319581_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755019963977","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/319581"},{"teacherId":388541,"projectId":9577006,"letterContent":"Thanks to you, we now have new white boards and materials that students cannot wait to use each day!

Because of your generosity, students can engage with these materials again and again, building confidence and fluency in their mathematical abilities.

They are using the number rockets to strengthen their numbers sense and build understanding of numbers in the teens.
