Thanks to your support, I was able to purchase a comfortable classroom carpet, a much-needed bookshelf, and blackout curtains—each of which will have a profound impact on the students' learning experience.\r\nThe new classroom carpet has transformed our space into a cozy, inviting area where my little learners can gather for group activities, read stories, and engage in collaborative play. The soft, roomy carpet has made our circle time more enjoyable and has allowed my students to feel comfortable, safe, and excited to learn.\r\nThe bookshelf, filled with an exciting array of picture books, has opened up new worlds for our students, as well as given them a comfy spot to read. Reading is a vital part of our curriculum, and thanks to your contribution, my students now have easy access to books that will spark their imaginations, encourage their love of reading, and support their early literacy development. The addition of this bookshelf has not only organized our classroom but has also inspired a sense of independence in my students as they select books that interest them.\r\nLastly, the blackout curtains have significantly improved our classroom environment. By blocking out excess sunlight, they help create a calm and quiet atmosphere, especially during rest time and activities that require focus. These curtains make our classroom a more conducive space for learning, helping my students concentrate better and engage more fully with their lessons.\r\nYour generosity has truly made a difference in the daily lives of my students. It's clear that your support is about more than just providing materials—it's about investing in their growth, development, and education. I am so grateful for your contribution, which has helped create a space where learning and creativity can flourish.\r\nOn behalf of myself, my teaching assistant, and my students, I want to thank you again for your kindness and generosity. The positive impact of your donation will be felt for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1750255552260,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-cozy-and-read/9236440/","projectTitle":"Let’s Get Cozy and Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8496464_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1654991839638","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8496464"},{"teacherId":9919014,"projectId":9104078,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to start their garden.

It was such a joy to see their excitement when our very first strawberry started to grow and watch them burst into giggles when our caterpillars cocoons were shaking when they were starting to hatch!

They were so surprised by how soft it felt and how bright it was. When I told them about our donors and how strangers showed us such kindness they were amazed by what you had done.
