The new rug has already transformed our play space into a cozy spot where students gather to play in our home center. It's become the heart of our classroom community, giving my students a sense of belonging and comfort as they play and learn together. The clipboards are a wonderful tool for independence, allowing children to take their writing and drawing to different parts of the room. They love having the freedom to work wherever they feel most focused.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the rug and clipboards, their excitement was contagious! They eagerly found their spots on the rug and immediately started exploring how the clipboards worked. One student proudly said, \"Now I can write anywhere!\" These moments showed me how much your gift directly supports their joy and growth as learners.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, we are now diving into literacy and math activities in new, flexible ways. The rug provides a safe comfortable space, while the clipboards make small-group and independent work more engaging. Your generosity has created not only a warm, inviting environment but also the tools for creativity and independence.

With these rugs, I give the students more opportunities to work around the room which can be more comfortable then sitting at their tables.
