It adds the right amount of color and comfort for our activities. I picked this rug because we are learning about personal space and this rug gives everyone their own spot to call theirs. We also group the kids according to the color they are sitting on. This teaches independence and waiting. Our rug is used for many things. We have learning circle, story time, music and also it provides a comfortable spot for free play. Its perfect for block building which a favorite of the students. You are appreciated.

Providing all students with visuals to express their feelings empowered them and gave them a meaningful voice as we closed out the school year.\r\n\r\nAfter reading the Spot book about the importance of a good night's sleep, one student (who often struggled to stay focused) began coming to school and telling me that he had turned off his tablet at night so he could sleep better. His test scores improved dramatically, which was incredible to see. However, beyond the test scores, I was truly excited to witness so many of my students connect with the Spot books and take responsibility for their own learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, these resources helped us finish the year strong. They have already made a positive impact on my new students this year as well.

The materials we have received will help our students get very excited about reading. Our goal has been to provide books that the students will be able to take home and read with their parents. When they are done with their book, they will be able to bring it back and get a different book to take home and read.
