They couldn't wait to sit on the cozy rugs and they commented how relaxed they felt while learning math. Such a simple change has made a big difference. Our small group space now feels even warmer and more inviting. The mobile board is also a favorite! Students love using it to show their thinking, draw visual models, and even take on the \"teacher role.\"\r\n\r\nDuring a division lesson, one student proudly used the board to explain her strategy while using a variety of marker colors, and soon the whole group joined in, helping and cheering each other on. Moments like that remind me how important it is to create a space where students feel safe to learn and take risks.\r\n\r\nWe're also kicking off our Reflex Math incentive program, where students can earn prizes for their hard work each week. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom now feels more joyful, motivating, and full of excitement for learning.

The rug is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect addition to my classroom. When visitors walk in, they immediately remark on our inviting space and how it feels like a terrific environment to learn. \r\n\r\nIt is the perfect spot to come together as a class. When the year started, and my students arrived, they were visibly excited about our classroom, specifically commenting on how they loved the aquarium rug. We use it everyday for our morning meetings, whole group instruction, group work, and also for students to work individually. They are continuously asking for the opportunity to work at the rug. The size is terrific because we are able to accommodate many students at the rug at the same time. It is spacious, bright, and comfortable. When I enter my room, I smile because I love it! \r\n\r\nIn conclusion, I am so appreciative for your support. Please know that you helped to make my classroom an amazing space for all who enter.
