The students love to recline in them and the seats give them various options on how far back to recline. The seats get used everyday. \r\nThe dry erase boards and markers are very helpful in my teachers rules group. This gives the students a new way to show their work instead of using paper and pencil. They also like to just draw, which I don't like, but we make it work. \r\nAgain thank you for your help.","fullyFundedDate":1760836944745,"projectUrl":"project/getting-ready/9451371/","projectTitle":"Getting Ready","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mercer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5436610_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1527721395593","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5436610"},{"teacherId":5146272,"projectId":9081762,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing my students with desk buddies!
