Because of your support, our kindergarten classroom library has been completely transformed.\r\nLearning to read—especially while building foundational skills in two languages—takes time, focus, and a lot of encouragement. The addition of these cozy bean bags has created a warm, inviting space where my students genuinely love to sit, relax, and explore books.\r\nFor five- and six-year-olds, having a comfortable and flexible seating option makes a world of difference. The bean bags lower their stress, help them focus for longer stretches during independent reading time, and create a cozy environment where they naturally gather to read picture books together. Seeing their faces light up when it's their turn to visit the reading corner has been absolute joy.\r\nYour kindness does more than just furnish our classroom; it shows my young learners that there is a whole community of people who care about their education and success.\r\nThank you for investing in our bilingual classroom and helping nurture a lifelong love of reading in my young students!\r\nWith deepest gratitude,\r\nMs. Cuevas","fullyFundedDate":1784729210643,"projectUrl":"project/lets-make-the-classroom-library-fun-and/10236593/","projectTitle":"Let's Make The Classroom Library Fun And Comfortable","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cuevas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4112308_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x30,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588465997412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/preka"},{"teacherId":3094744,"projectId":10330055,"letterContent":"The students were so excited to see their supplies waiting for them on the first day of school!

The students play a huge role in the success of this event because they get to be a part of the fun and how much money is raised for their grade level. Throughout this event, the students will bring their families and friends to school to see their classroom and enjoy time celebrating their current and future successes!
