Thanks to your support, we now have a beautiful new classroom rug that has transformed our learning environment. Our rug has quickly become the heart of the room, providing a cozy and inviting space where my third graders can gather for whole group lessons, collaborative activities, and independent reading time. One of the first moments we used the rug was during a shared reading session of a new story. The students were so excited to have a dedicated space where they could comfortably sit together and engage with the text. Their faces lit up when they saw the rug, and many of them immediately chose spots to sit, eager to experience this new learning space!\r\n\r\nThe rug has created a sense of ownership and community in our classroom. During group projects, the students now have a space to sit in circles, making it easier for them to share ideas, solve problems together, and build relationships. It has encouraged more collaboration and interaction, especially in small group discussions where the students feel more relaxed and engaged. The rug has truly made our classroom feel more like a family, where everyone is included, comfortable, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the students will continue to use the rug for our next big project: a creative writing unit where they will be writing and sharing their own stories. I can already see how the rug is fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration, and I am excited to see how it continues to enrich our learning experiences. Thank you again for making this all possible—it has truly made a world of difference for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1736300497831,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-rug-for-a-class-family/8859006/","projectTitle":"Classroom Rug for a Class Family","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8395973_orig.png?crop=418,418,x30,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648565574735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8395973"},{"teacherId":6244787,"projectId":5152881,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom project, Success From Six Feet Away!
