The additional space allows students to spread out comfortably during whole-group lessons, small-group activities, and play-based learning. With more room, students are less distracted by being too close to one another and can better focus on the activity or instruction at hand. The rug also creates a clear, welcoming gathering area that helps establish routine and structure.\r\n\r\nDuring play-based learning, the larger rug encourages collaboration by giving students a safe, comfortable space to work together with building materials, puzzles, games, or dramatic play items. It promotes movement and exploration while still defining boundaries, so the classroom remains organized.\r\n\r\nThis project has improved the classroom by supporting a more positive learning environment. Students are more engaged, transitions run more smoothly, and there are fewer conflicts over space.

I was able to provide them with play registers that still function much like the real ones, so we have cashiers for our store as well. \r\n They love being able to save up and spend it on some of the bigger ticket items like the slime, the Squishmallows, and the inflatable guitars. I've even seen some students give others some of their funds when they can't afford a specific item. It has been such a wholesome and educational experience for me and my students. It's something I would have never been able to do without your support.\r\n They are able to shop every other Friday after they have budgeted for their bills and fines.
