These resources have truly transformed our learning space and made it so much easier for students to access materials independently.\r\n\r\nMy students and I use the new storage daily to keep our books, supplies, and center activities neat and within reach. One of the sweetest moments was watching my kinders help set up their bins and shelves, they were so proud to have their own spaces to keep their things organized! It has given them a sense of responsibility and ownership over their learning environment.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the materials, our classroom has become a calmer, more structured space where students can focus on their reading and hands-on activities without the distraction of clutter. We are currently working on building reading stamina and independence, and the organized book storage makes it so much easier for students to find and return their favorite books.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom feels brighter, more welcoming, and more efficient. You've helped create a learning space that supports growth, independence, and joy every single day.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\nMs. Perez 💛📚\r\nKindergarten Learning Lab","fullyFundedDate":1743999548611,"projectUrl":"project/organizationalstorage-books-for-my-stud/9212747/","projectTitle":"Organizational/Storage Books for My Students and Teacher Storage :)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9617741_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y397&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722460889380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9617741"},{"teacherId":4499915,"projectId":9265933,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.
