Thanks to your donation, we received a beautiful rug that has become so much more than just a classroom accessory — it's a dedicated space for reading, discussions, social-emotional learning, and so much more.\r\n\r\nMy students absolutely love the shift in our day when it's time to gather on the carpet for a story or a lesson. One of my favorite moments, beyond our read-alouds, is teaching phonics on the rug. The students are consistently engaged, and they're learning so much; often without even realizing it because they're having such a great time in the process.\r\n\r\nWhen I first unrolled the rug in the classroom, the excitement was immediate. The students were amazed that someone would be so kind as to gift something so beautiful just for our class. They admired every detail and couldn't wait to be invited over to try it out. Their favorite part? Having their own special spot. They light up when they hear, \"Okay, come pick a flower, it's carpet time!\" \r\n\r\nThe rug arrived in time for my class to enjoy it last year, and this year, my class is already making it a meaningful part of their learning. Last year, we focused heavily on social-emotional learning and phonics during our carpet time. This year, phonics remains a big focus, and I'm excited to begin using this space for more class discussions during math – especially for math talks and collaborative problem solving.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a space that fosters joy, connection, and deep learning. Your kindness continues to bloom in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1746785696075,"projectUrl":"project/reading-on-the-rug-where-stories-come-t/9254832/","projectTitle":"Reading on the Rug: Where Stories Come to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Acosta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998510"},{"teacherId":9207675,"projectId":8432181,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well.

Through the student's responsible care of library books and returning them on time, they earn this token and are then allowed to use it at the vending machine.\r\nAs the students look at the choices available, they are excited and motivated to be a winner. It's fun to hear about the books they choose from the vending machine that become their very own books to take home.\r\nI am happy to know good books are being read over and over in homes with moms and dads and building life long readers and a love for good books.","fullyFundedDate":1732307324359,"projectUrl":"project/fantastic-reads-in-our-book-vending-mach/8825711/","projectTitle":"Fantastic Reads in our Book Vending Machine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Snyder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9522981"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77964","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":418,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"22.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":95.8,"schoolId":77964,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/kingsburg-elementary-charter-school-district/lincoln-elementary-school/77964"}
