It is where the students and I gather several times a day as a class family. Whether it be during our morning meetings where students can choose to share about what is going on in their lives, during read aloud after lunch, or during many of our learning activities. That togetherness helps me build the essential relationship with my students that I adore and that I have found directly impacts student achievement. It also helps foster the accepting, safety of student community within my room.\r\n\r\nOur old rug had been worn very thin, it was dingy and stained despite being shampooed and some of the state's labels had been badly worn. My students especially loved that our classroom rug was a map and I found it started many student discussions and sparked authentic learning as they located different places on our rug. I had hoped to replace it with an updated one very similar to it and I'm so grateful for your help in making that a reality. \r\n\r\nOur new classroom rug arrived today and the students and I were so excited! We had to wait until after lunch for when we had time to unroll it and place it in its new home and they could hardly wait! It is so bright and beautiful and much higher quality and more plush than our old one. It looks built to withstand being a well loved classroom addition! Because of you, I will have many more years of carpet time with my students and I'm grateful for that.","fullyFundedDate":1776111747917,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-give-my-students-the-world/10023368/","projectTitle":"Help me give my students the world!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp394514_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674858464774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carrie-young"},{"teacherId":5834510,"projectId":10044775,"letterContent":"Thank you for all the support.
