My students are loving the birthday bags and get super excited to see what is all in it when they have their birthday. Even though we've only had a few birthday celebrations so far this school year, my students are always excited when someone gets their bag. \r\nThe memory books are starting off great as well. I love that my students and their families will have this memory to look back on when their child is older and not in kindergarten anymore. It is great to have everything in one convenient place and already put together. The kids love adding things to it and I love how they already look at it and have such great memories of things we have done so far this year.","fullyFundedDate":1755733235823,"projectUrl":"project/celebrate-good-times-in-k/9449396/","projectTitle":"Celebrate Good Times In K!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Renslow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3520713_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1510464453537","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3520713"},{"teacherId":10046463,"projectId":9407064,"letterContent":"I am so grateful that there are people that are willing to donate to my classroom library.

The students have enjoyed getting to fuel their bodies with an afternoon snack. The 3 tiered carts are also a big time saver in our classroom where table supplies can be stored for easiness. This eliminates me having to take time to pass out individual materials that students use daily! Our new couch is a great addition to our library center. Students enjoy a comfy place to sit and read. Some students also utilize it when choosing a break to calm their bodies. All of these additions to our classroom would not have been possible without your support!
