This rug is so soft (my littles are obsessed with how it feels), bright and clean. Our room looks so much better with the rug in it!\r\n\r\nIt is difficult to keep a kindergarten rug clean. This rug can be washed and dried at a laundromat. It will help keep my kids healthy AND it just brightens up the room so much. \r\n\r\nIt is really important for children to see that we care about them. A clean and bright classroom makes them feel cared for and safe. A rug seems like such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference for everyone that uses that room. I am so thankful for this.","fullyFundedDate":1787064149878,"projectUrl":"project/new-rug-for-our-room-makes-learning-zoo/10501766/","projectTitle":"New Rug for Our Room, Makes Learning Zoom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mangelsdorf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/j-mangelsdorf"},{"teacherId":6919308,"projectId":9859813,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to get a nice new rug for our classroom and have enough space to fit without being squished or sitting off the side on the cold tile floor. We spend so much time together on the rug that it really is important to have a space that looks and feels welcoming to gather. I also absolutely love it for both its functionality but also the ability to not show every mark since the background is black. \r\n\r\nEach day we come to the rug to learn, share experiences, have discussions, and do hard things. It is literally the most used space in the classroom and we are so thankful to have been able to get this project funded.
