Several students immediately claimed spots on the cushions and bean bags, and one student said, \"This feels like a whole new classroom!\" The flexible seating has created a more inviting and comfortable environment where students feel more at ease during independent and partner work. The timer has quickly become a helpful tool for managing classroom routines—I use it regularly during quick writes, reading sprints, and transition activities to help students stay focused and on track. While we haven't started our poetry unit just yet, the magnet poetry set has already sparked interest; students have been playing with the words during free time, and I can see the creative energy building.\r\n\r\n Our poetry unit begins in just a few weeks, and I'm especially excited to see how these new materials will enhance our learning during that time. Students will use the flexible seating to find their own comfortable writing zones as they draft, revise, and share original poems. I plan to incorporate the magnet poetry set as a warm-up activity to inspire creative thinking and wordplay before students dive into their writing. These resources have already made a difference in how students approach their work—with more enthusiasm, independence, and comfort. I'm incredibly grateful to the donors who helped create this space, and I look forward to seeing how our upcoming projects continue to grow from it.","fullyFundedDate":1752764239825,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corners-for-focused-minds/9336641/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corners for Focused Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marietta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9998044_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746725632507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998044"},{"teacherId":8380922,"projectId":9080166,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in donating to our classroom project.
