The day it arrived, the students could hardly contain their excitement. They were all smiles and eager to help set it up — passing out pieces, tightening screws, and making sure everything was perfect. It quickly turned into a team project, and the pride they felt when we stood back and looked at the finished table was amazing.\r\nSince then, the puzzle table has become the favorite spot in our classroom. The kids love gathering around it to work together, talk through strategies, and celebrate when they find a tricky piece that fits. It's been so much fun watching them encourage one another, take turns, and enjoy just being together while they work.\r\nWe've even started a new class tradition — every time we finish a puzzle, the students get to vote on which one we'll do next. They take it very seriously! They love looking at the options, debating which will be the most fun or the hardest, and then counting votes to make it official. It's such a small thing, but it gives them a sense of ownership and community that means so much.\r\nThe puzzle table has also become a peaceful space for students who need a little break or a calm moment. It's helping them learn patience, teamwork, and perseverance — and it brings so much joy to our classroom each day.\r\nYour generosity has given my students more than a table. You've given them laughter, teamwork, and a space they truly love. \r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1755746490506,"projectUrl":"project/purposeful-puzzle-play/9455847/","projectTitle":"Purposeful Puzzle Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cavanaugh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8917886"},{"teacherId":9551293,"projectId":9720680,"letterContent":"My students were very excited to get the box of headphones! They each chose the color they would use. Then we placed them on the headphone hooks. I have enough for my other classes too. Now we can listen to interactive readings without interruption of other sounds. \r\n\r\nThe other day each student had an assigned video segment. They each used their headphones to listen while watching own video. Then they could move at their own pace to do the interactive questions. It was so much better than doing as a whole.
