Your donations truly brought my vision to life. The hanging lanterns created a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly transformed our room into a fun and welcoming space—one that students are excited to enter each day.\r\n\r\nThe bean bags have become a favorite spot for independent reading, giving students a comfortable place to relax and immerse themselves in books. Our new rug ties the entire area together, making it feel like a true reading community. We gather there for class discussions, read-alouds, and shared learning experiences that bring our group closer together.\r\n\r\nThis reading space has also become a powerful incentive for students working toward independent reading goals on their token boards. They are so proud when they earn time in the Reading Retreat.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a real difference in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful.
