Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and I want you to know just how much your kindness is appreciated.\r\nThe students absolutely love the new flexible seating options—especially in our reading area. The moment they walked in and saw the new seats, their faces lit up. They've quickly discovered how comfortable and inviting the space is, and it has already transformed the way they engage with their reading time. They enjoy the seats so much, in fact, that I had to create a rotation system to make sure everyone gets a fair turn. It's a good problem to have, and it's been wonderful to see how excited they are to use the space.\r\nThe flexible seating has also made a noticeable impact during small‑group activities. Students are collaborating more smoothly, communicating more effectively, and staying focused longer. The ability to choose a space that fits their learning style has helped them work together with more confidence and ease.\r\nIn addition to the seating, the new variety of books has sparked a fresh wave of enthusiasm for reading. Students who were once hesitant to pick up a book are now exploring new genres, sharing recommendations with classmates, and showing a level of motivation that has been truly inspiring. Your support didn't just provide materials—it helped create a culture of curiosity and joy around reading.","fullyFundedDate":1760065262447,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-library-with-flexible-seating/9644001/","projectTitle":"Classroom Library With Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Askew","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5901439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724980815112","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5901439"},{"teacherId":576201,"projectId":9159620,"letterContent":"Thank you for making my classroom a place students want to be.

The project was funded just in time for testing season when kids stress levels become higher. The kids were so excited when the clock went up! (They finally know what time it is!). The stress balls and squishes have already started to get use by the kids. They are enjoying them so much. The magnetic blocks have been a big hit especially with the MD students I work with in the morning. Having so many options helps the kids have a choice when they feel overwhelmed with the stress of the day. It gives them some control in a place where they don't always have the option to be in charge.
