The clipboards has made it possible for the students to work on the bean bags and in small groups. Having sharpies and various pens to use to write on the file folders has made it easier for my students to locate the folder and keep it safe in the classroom. We are very thankful for these materials and they have been able to help several students in several classes over the past 2 school years. My students tend to loose their work and supplies and these donations have been a life saver in helping several classes and students stay and get organized.","fullyFundedDate":1723486059482,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-lets-get-organized/8503733/","projectTitle":"New Year - Let’s Get Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kimberlee Prosio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1594335"},{"teacherId":1594335,"projectId":8149586,"letterContent":"The cozy corner and beans bags chairs were in desperate need of some TLC. Students will often come in during lunch or tutorial time to just refocus and relax. The filler material has enabled me to bring the cozy corner back to life. It is one of the students favorite area. I now have 6 bean bags chairs in 2 different small cozy corners in my English classroom allowing several students to be able to use the area. Students now have a safe place again to read or just chill. The bean bag area makes my classroom more inviting.
