It has quickly become the heart of our learning space. Each day, my students gather on the carpet for morning meetings, read-alouds, and collaborative group work. The soft, colorful area has transformed our classroom into a warm and inviting environment that encourages focus and connection. Recently, during our \"Storytelling Circle\" project, students sat together on the new carpet to share their own original stories. The comfort and closeness of the space helped even my shyest students find their voices and share their creativity with confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the carpet first arrived, the excitement was contagious! Students gasped, clapped, and immediately began exploring the new area—some even stretched out to read right away. It was heartwarming to see how something as simple as a new carpet could bring such joy and pride to our classroom.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue to use our new carpet space for group learning. Right now, we are beginning a unit on community and cooperation, and the carpet will serve as the perfect gathering spot for small-group discussions and team-building activities. Your donation didn't just give us a new carpet—it gave us a new sense of togetherness and enthusiasm for learning.
