They are so excited about the new chairs that we now have assigned days for each student to use them, because they simply cannot wait for their turn! Every day, we gather for our read-aloud and cozy up together to enjoy the pleasure of reading. Their enthusiasm for reading has grown tremendously, and their love for books continues to flourish.\r\n\r\nI originally purchased two chairs, thinking it would be enough. I quickly realized it wasn't, and that is what inspired this project to add four more. When my students learned that we were receiving additional chairs, they were overjoyed. The day they arrived, the students cheered, rushed to help unpack them, and excitedly arranged them around our reading area. They truly couldn't get enough, and that's when assigning specific days became the perfect solution. Now, they know exactly when their turn is, and they eagerly look forward to it.\r\n\r\nAlthough I first intended to use the chairs only during our carpet reading time, they have become a favorite spot for group projects, partner work, and even quiet reflection. The chairs offer a flexible, comfortable way for students to learn, almost as if they were sitting in their own living room at home. There are even moments when they groan because our reading time is over, and that's when I know that your generosity has truly transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nFor that, I am deeply grateful. My students and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1755545307720,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-classroom-for-focused-learners/9616047/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Classroom for Focused Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Romo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184724"},{"teacherId":9673911,"projectId":8659695,"letterContent":"My students have expressed more confidence and comfort in the classroom since receiving our new resources. \r\nThey have a comfortable place to relax when experiencing stress or anxiety in their new chairs.
