My students love it and it has changed the way we do lessons, storytime, our morning meetings, and classroom community. I don't see students vying for a spot anymore, or sitting on the outskirts. All my students are able to fit comfortably on it and they love it. In addition, our furniture has made reading an event the students look forward to. They always ask, \"Can we read now? With the furniture!?\" This enables them to get comfy and get lost in a book, and in doing so, improve their reading. I am forever grateful that the Donor's Choose community has helped my classroom in such a tremendous way :)","fullyFundedDate":1736105591840,"projectUrl":"project/help-fund-mrs-gonzalez-2nd-grade-class/8762448/","projectTitle":"Help Fund Mrs. Gonzalez 2nd Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9742342"},{"teacherId":9275876,"projectId":9151871,"letterContent":"My students have already started using our new puzzle organizer.

This is a BIG achievement for Kindergarten, especially so early on in the school year. Hearing the sounds in words, allows them to write words out accurately. \r\n\r\nOne of the best things to see, is how confident they are when sounding out words and writing them down. They feel like writers. Thank you for donating to our classroom.
