When my students first saw the new benches, soft lamp, and refreshed library space, they were instantly drawn in. Many rushed over to sit, stretch out, and explore books, and several said it felt like a \"real reading nook.\" Even some of my reluctant readers now gravitate toward the cozy spots because they feel comfortable, calm, and special.\r\n\r\nWe use the new furniture every day during reading, partner work, and independent practice. The benches provide both comfort and helpful storage, making our library more organized and accessible. The gentle lighting from the lamp has created a soothing atmosphere that helps students focus and feel at ease.\r\n\r\nThese cozy corners have given my students a true sense of belonging and ownership in our learning space. Our next step is launching a \"Reading Adventures Challenge,\" and my students are more excited than ever to dive into new books.","fullyFundedDate":1759545635693,"projectUrl":"project/snoopys-cozy-corners-for-curious-reader/9394594/","projectTitle":"Snoopy’s Cozy Corners for Curious Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ellis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2048078_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634841836057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2048078"},{"teacherId":2048078,"projectId":9061161,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!
