The cozy carpet you helped provide has transformed our learning space into a warm, inviting area where my students gather each day for reading, discussions, and collaborative activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the carpet first arrived, my students' faces lit up with excitement. They immediately wanted to sit on it, and I'll never forget one student saying, \"It feels like we have a real reading corner now, just like in a library!\" The soft, comfortable surface has made floor time something they actually look forward to, and I've noticed increased engagement during our morning meetings and read-aloud sessions.\r\n\r\nWe use the carpet daily for small group instruction, partner reading, and whole-class lessons. It's become the heart of our classroom community where students feel comfortable taking risks with their learning. Next, we're planning to incorporate more hands-on math activities and STEM projects on the carpet, giving students the flexible learning space they need to collaborate and problem-solve together. Your kindness has created a space where every child feels valued and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760629194018,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom-carpet-for-learning/9648075/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom Carpet for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McLeod","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5731032_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534792089432","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5731032"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56086","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":573,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.4,"schoolId":56086,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sawgrass Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sawgrass Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/sawgrass-lake-elementary-school/56086"}
