These tables have created comfortable, collaborative spaces where students can talk, share ideas, and work as a team. It has been wonderful to see how much more engaged they are during group work and discussions.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

Each morning, students excitedly find their spots for morning meeting, read-alouds, and whole-group lessons. The rug has created a clear, comfortable gathering area that helps students feel grounded and ready to learn. It has also made transitions smoother and more organized. Students know exactly where to sit, which has reduced distractions and increased focus during instruction. The colorful design helps define personal space while still keeping our classroom warm and welcoming.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the rug, their faces lit up with excitement. Many immediately pointed out their favorite colors or patterns and eagerly asked if we could start our lesson there right away. It has truly transformed the way we learn together. My students are more engaged, attentive, and connected during group discussions. Our next step is to continue building strong routines around this shared space, using it for collaborative activities, story time, and math talks. Thanks to this generous donation, our classroom now has a central spot where learning, conversation, and community all come together.","fullyFundedDate":1756150597316,"projectUrl":"project/the-community-carpet/9617571/","projectTitle":"The Community Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Langlois","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10185612"},{"teacherId":8249528,"projectId":8788297,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire Occupational Therapy team and the students and staff we serve, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution. The ergonomic furniture and tools you've provided are making a significant difference in our workspace and the quality of services we offer.\r\nWith the new adjustable desk and chair for staff, we can now address the body mechanics issues we've faced when working with students. The furniture helps us maintain proper posture, reducing discomfort and enabling us to better support those who rely on us. The Kore Chair encourages active seating and improves posture for both students and staff, making a positive impact on focus and engagement. The addition of proper lighting improves productivity and protects eye health, creating a more conducive environment for learning and therapy. Moreover, the timer and clock are helping our students improve their time management skills, fostering independence and responsibility.\r\nWe are truly excited to see the positive effects these tools will have on our daily work. Your support has not only helped us create a healthier and more comfortable environment but has also empowered us to continue providing high-quality, effective OT services. \r\nThank you once again for your kindness and for making such a positive impact on our learning environment.
