Students come together in front of the board for reading and writing lessons, math instruction, and collaborative discussions. Because the board is so visible and accessible, students stay more engaged and are able to follow lessons more closely as ideas, examples, and strategies are modeled in real time.\r\nStudents also use the whiteboard independently throughout the day to work with peers on mathematical computations and group brainstorming. It has become a shared space where students explain their thinking, solve problems together, and build on one another's ideas. I've noticed students taking more ownership of their learning as they confidently gather at the board to test strategies and support each other's thinking.\r\nThank you for providing a resource that supports collaboration, instruction, and active learning.

Our new rug has already transformed the way we learn and build community each day. When the students walked in and saw the rug for the first time, they gasped, cheered, and immediately sat down to \"test it out.\" One student said, \"It feels like our room is so cozy!\" Another added, \"Now we have our own reading corner!\"\r\nThe rug has quickly become the heart of our classroom. We gather there for our morning meeting, whole-group mini lessons, and read-alouds. During independent reading, students naturally gravitate to the rug, stretching out with a book and settling into a calm, focused space. I've noticed students who usually struggle to sit still staying engaged for longer periods simply because they feel comfortable. During partner discussions, pairs meet on the rug. There really isn't a time in our day when someone is not using the rug.\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened during a writing lesson. As we gathered on the rug, one of my students said, \"It feels like we're a real team when we sit here together.\" That sense of belonging is exactly what I hoped this rug would bring to our classroom. Thank you for making it possible.\r\nThank you for giving my students a warm, welcoming space to learn, talk, wonder, and grow. Your generosity didn't just give us a rug; it gave us a gathering place that supports connection, focus, and joy every single day. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1755710130947,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-desire/9426534/","projectTitle":"Classroom Desire","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6607892"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47283","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":411,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":47283,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spofford Pond Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spofford Pond Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boxford-public-schools/spofford-pond-elementary-school/47283"}
