Through these amazing books, visual aids, and comfortable flex seating, I have already begun to change the lives of the 5th graders who experience them. \r\n\r\nFor example, I had a student who did not want to pick a book out to be his independent reading book to start the year. I asked him again to go pick put a book from my library, and again he refused. I pulled him aside and asked why he didn't want to pick out a book to which he said \"books are stupid, and I hate reading\". I told him that I didn't think he actually hated books or reading, and that he needed to find a book that interested him and an area that was conducive to his reading. \r\n\r\nFlash forward to this morning, when I entered the room after collecting my students and doing our morning routine, and this student was sitting on one of the comfortable flex seating, reading one of the books from the classroom project you all generously funded. I knew having comfortable seating options and a wide array of reading options would greatly impact my students in a positive way, I just didn't know just how big that impact would be.","fullyFundedDate":1750125348123,"projectUrl":"project/1st-year-teacher-looking-to-change-lives/9415382/","projectTitle":"1st Year Teacher Looking to Change Lives","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Burris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10056977_orig.png?crop=1290,1290,x0,y533&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750005884944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10056977"},{"teacherId":9300624,"projectId":8813031,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.
