My students loved the colorful bean bag chair and the carpet with smiley faces. They are beautiful. They were happy and excited when they first saw it. All of them wanted to sit on the chair. My students stay on the carpet when they are reading books and during morning meetings. During morning meetings, we talked about how they are feeling. \r\n\r\nHopefully for our next project we are planning to put some books both fiction or non- fiction for my students to read while they are on the carpet.

I put up the light covers after school, and the next morning when they walked in, their faces lit up as bright as the ocean scenes above them. They pointed out the turtles and birds, thrilled by how the soft, calming light transformed our classroom. The covers not only reduced glare but also created a warm, welcoming space that instantly felt more peaceful and inspiring for learning.\r\n\r\nThe new storage cart made an equally big difference. Before, our classroom printer sat on milk crates, but now it has a proper home. The drawers neatly hold papers and student work, helping us stay organized and efficient throughout the day. It truly elevated our classroom's functionality and appearance.\r\n\r\nEvery single item, from the laminating sheets to the light covers has helped make our classroom a more engaging and supportive environment for learning.

Their impact reaches far beyond the items given; it strengthens communities, uplifts education, and changes lives.","fullyFundedDate":1737042733219,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-mr-currys-clas/8809555/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds: Mr. Curry's Classroom Adventure Join In!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Curry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9770846_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727000846561","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9770846"},{"teacherId":9120267,"projectId":8736240,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students, families, and staff, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation toward therapy services.
