Students are using the space for reading groups, calm-down time, partner activities, and morning meetings. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students gather on the rug during independent reading, they immediately sprawled out with their books, whispering, \"It feels so soft!\" and \"This is our new reading spot!\" Their joy was genuine, and it created such a welcoming start to our day.\r\n\r\nWhen the rug first arrived, the students were thrilled. Many of them walked across it slowly just to feel the softness under their feet, and several commented on how \"clean and cozy\" the classroom felt with this new addition. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps include using this space to support more flexible seating and small-group learning routines. The rug has made it possible for students to focus better, connect more with each other, and feel a sense of belonging in our classroom. We appreciate your support more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1763567568385,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-clean-space-for-every-learner/9790977/","projectTitle":"A Cozy, Clean Space for Every Learner!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bevin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2217744_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715227719063","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2217744"},{"teacherId":2217744,"projectId":9893682,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting Art, Music, and Mindfulness: Tools to Help Every Child Shine. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought meaningful creative and calming resources into our classroom, giving my students opportunities to express themselves through art, explore rhythm and sound through music, and build emotional regulation skills through mindfulness activities.
