I work in a city school with 32 students, limited space, and very small, oddly shaped desks. The seat pockets on the backs of the chairs have been a game changer. They've helped tremendously with the clutter that used to fill the desks and have given students much more usable workspace on top of their desks.\r\n\r\nWith 32 desks and 32 chairs, flexible seating is always a challenge. The cushions and extra stools you provided have made a huge impact in our classroom. Students now understand that if they don't have a seat, they can quickly grab a stool, or take their group to the back of the room and sit comfortably on a cushion to work together.\r\n\r\nThese additions have truly made teaching easier and learning more accessible for my students. The difference they've made in our daily routines and classroom environment is incredible, and I am so grateful for your support and thoughtfulness.","fullyFundedDate":1758636662846,"projectUrl":"project/organized-spaces-brighter-minds/9615330/","projectTitle":"Organized Spaces, Brighter Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tricoli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184242"},{"teacherId":9558773,"projectId":8429818,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your thoughtful contribution to my classroom project through DonorsChoose.
