Thanks to your kindness, our classroom now has a vacuum and mop robot that helps keep our learning environment clean and welcoming every single day.\r\n\r\nThis addition has made such a difference — our students are able to spend more time focusing on their work instead of cleaning up, and our classroom feels fresh and ready for learning each morning. The students love seeing the robot in action and have even given it a nickname! Her name is Raina 25! It's been a fun, practical way to teach responsibility and care for our shared space.\r\n\r\nYour generosity not only provided a useful tool but also reminded my students that there are people out there who believe in supporting education and teachers. \r\n\r\nThank you for making our classroom brighter, cleaner, and more efficient.","fullyFundedDate":1758899017968,"projectUrl":"project/make-the-science-room-clean-again/9659550/","projectTitle":"Make the Science Room Clean Again","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/115858"},{"teacherId":9993236,"projectId":9242417,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing our classroom with a new carpet! While it may seem like a simple addition, this carpet has truly transformed the way we learn and connect in our space. From the moment my students saw it rolled out across our classroom floor, their faces lit up with excitement. They instantly understood that this was more than just a rug—it was a place for gathering, sharing, and learning together.\r\n\r\nWe now use our carpet throughout the day for a variety of purposes. During whole-group lessons, the carpet helps bring us together in a shared space where everyone can see, hear, and engage more easily. It's also been essential for small group instruction, allowing me to pull students aside for focused discussions and interventions in a cozy, welcoming environment. Even during classroom discussions and morning meetings, the carpet fosters a sense of community. Students feel safe and included, which has led to more participation and deeper conversations.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, this simple but powerful resource has become the heart of our classroom. As we move into our next units in reading and math, the carpet will continue to serve as our go-to learning space for collaboration, storytelling, problem-solving, and more. Thank you again for giving my students a place to gather, grow, and feel like they truly belong.","fullyFundedDate":1747852455321,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-corner-for-learning/9242417/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Corner for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hossan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9993236_orig.jpg?crop=1249,1249,x34,y368&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747886345298","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9993236"},{"teacherId":3546866,"projectId":9704260,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and allowing us to have a classroom camera.

Many couldn't believe the variety and were eager to pick their favorite. Some even expressed relief, saying they were glad to have something to eat since they had missed breakfast that morning.
