It serves as a comfortable, inviting space where we gather for literacy centers, group lessons, and collaborative activities. The children love sitting at it and have already used it for countless group discussions and literacy activities.\r\nFurthermore, the children's headphones are an invaluable addition to our learning stations. They allow students to engage in focused individual learning activities, such as educational apps and listening exercises, without distracting their peers. This addition significantly enhances our ability to provide personalized learning experiences for every child.\r\nYour thoughtful gifts not only enhance the physical comfort and functionality of our classroom but also send a powerful message to our students: that they are part of a community that cares deeply about their education and well-being.\r\nWe are truly touched by your generosity and commitment to fostering a positive and enriching learning environment.

A very special thank to the Charles Swab Foundation for ensuring that these items could be purchased.","fullyFundedDate":1755521953830,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-and-collaborative-kindergarten/9324329/","projectTitle":"Cozy and Collaborative Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Potes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9841774_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749056219859","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9841774"},{"teacherId":2597296,"projectId":9482658,"letterContent":"This project has really benefited my students!
