They couldn't wait to gather on it, and several of them immediately sat down to feel how soft it was. One student exclaimed, \"This is like sitting at home!\" which perfectly captured the warm, welcoming feeling the rug has brought to our classroom. It has truly transformed our meeting space from a simple corner of the room into the heart of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nWe use the rug multiple times throughout every single day. Each morning, we gather together for our morning meeting, where students share news from home, practice social-emotional skills, and get excited about the day ahead. During our literacy block, the rug becomes our story time haven where we explore new books together, act out stories, and discuss characters and plot. In math, we use the rug for interactive games and hands-on activities that help solidify concepts through movement and play. The rug has become the place where we build connections, share ideas, and learn together as a community.\r\n\r\nMore than just a piece of classroom furniture, this rug has helped my second graders feel safe, comfortable, and valued. When we gather on the rug, we're not just sitting together—we're building relationships, supporting one another, and creating a true classroom family. Thank you for making this possible and for investing in a space where my students can grow both academically and socially. Your generosity has made a real difference in our daily learning experience!","fullyFundedDate":1758079074425,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-rug/9662159/","projectTitle":"New Year, New Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haben","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10230828_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757089997366","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10230828"},{"teacherId":8014517,"projectId":8934124,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for suppling my classroom with needed materials.
