The moment my students saw the new table, their eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. One student even exclaimed, \"This is like Christmas!\" Since then, the table has become the heart of our classroom. We use it for everything—from reading groups and hands-on science experiments to collaborative group projects and even our after-school cooking club. It's amazing how one piece of furniture has brought so much energy and connection to our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible. One memorable moment was during a heat energy experiment where students used metal spoons, butter, and water at different temperatures to observe how heat energy transfers. Gathered around the table, they made predictions, recorded observations, and were completely engaged in the process. The excitement as they watched the butter slowly melt and slide down the spoons was a perfect blend of curiosity and learning in action.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I'm excited to use this table with my incoming 4th graders right from the start of the school year. It will be a central part of our classroom community—supporting early team-building activities, group learning, and creative exploration from day one. Your donation didn't just provide a table—it created a space for collaboration, discovery, and growth that will continue to benefit students for years to come. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey!","fullyFundedDate":1741563016311,"projectUrl":"project/small-groups-big-impact-a-table-for-su/9105499/","projectTitle":"Small Groups, Big Impact: A Table for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Woods","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8610473_orig.jpg?crop=1280,1280,x211,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660177049817","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8610473"},{"teacherId":3130939,"projectId":8931677,"letterContent":"The EL team teaches the first graders the first period of the day and the second graders the last period of the day.
