They truly thought they were toys! Even now, they still see them as something fun, which makes learning feel natural and joyful. One of my favorite moments was watching students proudly show each other the letters they created, excitedly naming the sounds and sharing their work with friends.\r\n\r\nThese materials have already made a meaningful impact, and we will continue to use them regularly during Choice Time as students build confidence and work toward mastering their letters and letter sounds.

The students have been captivated by the stories of amazing women, such as: Oprah Winfrey, and Marie Curie. They became so intensely interested, that they asked to learn more. The passages also include room for a written response from the students. These are great because it gives the students an opportunity to practice their handwriting, and spelling skills.

We use it every day as a gathering space for morning meetings, read-alouds, phonics lessons, and group discussions. One special moment was during a recent shared reading activity, when students gathered on the rug to listen to a story about Martin Luther King Jr. We worked together on becoming aware of different shades of skin color and conducting an experiment with a white and brown egg and cracking them open to see that they are the same on the inside! It was a special teachable moment of acceptance and love.\r\n\r\n The rug provides a comfortable, defined space where students can sit safely, focus, and feel part of a learning community. It has also supported collaborative activities, such as partner turn-and-talks and whole-group counting games, helping students build both academic and social skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new rug, their faces lit up with excitement. They were eager to sit on it right away and immediately noticed how colorful, soft, and inviting it was. Many students commented on how it made our classroom feel \"new\" and \"special.\" It created a sense of pride and ownership in our learning environment. The rug has helped students stay more engaged during lessons, and they are more motivated to participate when they are gathered together in this welcoming space.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our learning, the rug will play an important role in upcoming literacy and math activities. Students will use the space for small-group phonics instruction, interactive read-alouds, and hands-on math lessons focused on counting, number recognition, and problem-solving. We are also beginning thematic units where students will listen to stories, discuss ideas, and collaborate on group projects while seated together. This rug is helping us build a strong classroom community where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. We are incredibly grateful for this generous donation and the positive impact it has made on our students' daily learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1764606998141,"projectUrl":"project/the-magic-carpet-makeover/9870613/","projectTitle":"The Magic Carpet Makeover!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10339707_orig.png?crop=489,489,x72,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762280447774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10339707"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4666","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":456,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":4666,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Linda Vista Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Linda Vista Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/alum-rock-elementary-school-district/linda-vista-elementary-school/4666"}
