It has been a great addition to make our classroom a welcoming and comfortable environment.\r\n\r\nMy students love to use this rug to read in a comfortable space and work on their assignments. They like playing on the rug with the morning bins and it's perfect to build with blocks on. They enjoy having different options to sit around the classroom. My students love how soft the rug is and the rainbow on it because it matches the other rainbows in the room. They also enjoy that the rug is bigger than the one we had before so more students can sit and lay on it.","fullyFundedDate":1746474831227,"projectUrl":"project/a-comfy-space-for-learning-and-collabora/9076591/","projectTitle":"A Comfy Space for Learning and Collaborating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Charleston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9108789_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722746150275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9108789"},{"teacherId":7888132,"projectId":8932001,"letterContent":"The materials donated for my small group reading instruction has been a game changer!

Our students were so excited to learn that we had chess sets for everyone to be able to play on. Before, we were doing whole group chess activities and teaching students basic moves. But many of our students didn't have a chess set in front of them to be able to follow along.\r\n\r\nNow our students are all able to play against one another and learn the game of chess while actively playing. Our sponsors and mentors have been a great help and it now makes it simpler for them to help our students learn to play chess. We will continue to use these chess boards to teach students how to play the game of chess. We plan to host a chess tournament in the future. Because of your generosity, this is something that we will now be able to implement!","fullyFundedDate":1731613429852,"projectUrl":"project/developing-problem-solving-skills-throug/8908262/","projectTitle":"Developing Problem Solving Skills Through Chess","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Elliott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3607319_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1463021625680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elliott110"},{"teacherId":7888132,"projectId":8911017,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to help my students have their own headphones!
