My students and I use the carpet every morning for our community circle time, where we greet one another, share our thoughts, and build strong social-emotional skills. Having a defined, welcoming space has helped students feel more secure and connected, and it has made our discussions more focused and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students first saw the new carpet, their faces lit up with excitement. It created an instant sense of belonging—something that was difficult to achieve before when we didn't have a designated gathering area.\r\n\r\nWe also use the carpet daily for our read-alouds and small-group work. The students love gathering closely together to listen to stories, and the carpet provides the perfect space for focused group activities and collaborative learning. Your contribution has truly transformed the atmosphere of our classroom by giving students a comfortable, inviting place to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using the carpet for community building, literacy activities, and small-group instruction. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our learning community. We are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1755737907867,"projectUrl":"project/gather-read-and-create/9511535/","projectTitle":"Gather, Read and Create","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Terriquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1879555_orig.jpg?crop=530,530,x0,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723332358959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1879555"},{"teacherId":7940389,"projectId":9713826,"letterContent":"Thank you for making this project become reality for this awesome group of students.
