The shelves are already keeping the classroom more open and organized by clearing up floor space and also allowing2 instruments to fit on each shelf. The hooks have allowed the ukeleles to be displayed in a way that is accessible and also safe for the instruments. By not having to stack xylophones and ukeleles on top of each other, we are no longer risking instrument damage during setup or cleanup. \r\n\r\nWhen my classes first came into the room this year, there were excited gasps of \"WOW!\" and \"it looks so nice!\". Now, thanks to you, my students will be able to grab ukes easily off the wall to get straight to their studies. Time is a valuable thing, and you have helped make our classroom not only safer, but more efficient!","fullyFundedDate":1774984489835,"projectUrl":"project/a-better-home-for-xylophones/10169852/","projectTitle":"A Better Home for Xylophones","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5797705_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536509160135","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5797705"},{"teacherId":10086447,"projectId":9929775,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my DonorsChoose project and providing book bins and organizational materials for my kindergarten classroom.

The classroom is now more organized, and students can quickly find books that interest them without needing help.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially enjoying the independence these bins give them. They are excited to browse and select books on their own, which helps build early responsibility and confidence as readers. It has also made our reading time smoother and more focused.\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your generosity.
