They love stretching out on the carpet when they are reading with a partner or working in a center. With this carpet my students were so excited to showcase it to their families, and it was also used as a calm down corner.","fullyFundedDate":1663679497615,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-where-learning-happens/6573310/","projectTitle":"A Place Where Learning Happens!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7900372_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626441761114","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7900372"},{"teacherId":6276335,"projectId":9124018,"letterContent":"I am so thankful for your support!
