The rug has become the focal point in our room. The students gather on it daily to listen to whole group instruction and it also gives me a place to sit with them when I do our read alouds at the end of the day. When it is time for independent or group work, the rug is where everyone gathers. It has created a warm and welcoming space in our classroom that the students love. It also provides a place for some of my students who need movement in their day, to stretch out while they do their work. I can't imagine our classroom without this rug. Thank you again, for your contributions and for helping to create this amazing space that allows my students to engage, collaborate, and learn in the best environment possible.","fullyFundedDate":1721601916009,"projectUrl":"project/a-classroom-rug-for-engagement-and-focus/8481164/","projectTitle":"A Classroom Rug for Engagement and Focus!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Willson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9565070"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79076","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":281,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":79076,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Masters Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Masters Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/masters-elementary-school/79076"}
