My more advanced students are currently reading Geronimo Stilton together and engaging in a novel study. They are loving the book, and I'm sure many will go on to read others in the series. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for giving me the opportunity to further nurture a love of reading in my students.

The custodian brought it to the classroom during the middle of class, planning to put it aside and open it up after school. The kids begged him to unroll it right away because they were too excited to wait, and he obliged. They actually cheered when it was finally in place and our grungy old outdoor rug was on its way out the door.\r\n\r\nThe new rug has made such a difference in our classroom. First of all, it is very aesthetically pleasing; it's so bright and cheerful! More importantly, now everyone has a spot, with room to spare. It's even big enough for all of us to sit in a circle for morning meeting without anyone having to sit on the hard floor. The best thing about our new carpet is the ability I now have to assign spots. This has improved focus and behavior tremendously. \r\n\r\nYour donation is making a difference for twenty-seven kids and myself every single day, and we couldn't me more grateful for your incredible generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1760726234887,"projectUrl":"project/please-help-us-replace-our-not-so-magic/9730762/","projectTitle":"Please Help Us Replace Our Not-So-Magic Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garstang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msgarstang"},{"teacherId":780472,"projectId":9820840,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity in fully funding this project.
