We use it every single day during read-alouds and direct instruction. Reading to my students is truly my favorite part of the day, and now everyone has a comfortable, defined space to sit and focus together. No one has to sit on the hard floor anymore, every child has a cozy, happy spot of their own.\r\n\r\nWhen I first unrolled the rug, the excitement in the room was priceless! There were lots of \"oohs\" and \"ahhs,\" and one student exclaimed, \"Oh, that is gonna be so cute!\" The rug has quickly become the heart of our classroom, bringing warmth, comfort, and joy to our learning time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a more welcoming and happy place to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1755707194351,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-cozy-carpet-the-center-of-attent/9599008/","projectTitle":"Comfy, Cozy Carpet: The Center of Attention","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8428176_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755225767993","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8428176"},{"teacherId":4412913,"projectId":9309851,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for sprinkling a little magic into our classroom! Because of your generosity, our dramatic play center has officially opened for business—as an ICE CREAM SHOP! And let me tell you... business is booming!\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our five-year-olds have been busy scooping, topping, taking orders, counting change, and whipping up the most imaginative sundaes you've ever seen. But they're not just playing—they're learning SO much while they work together. They're:\r\n\r\n- Practicing early math skills as they count scoops and sort coins\r\n\r\n- Using language and literacy as they create menus and signs\r\n\r\n- Strengthening communication by taking turns, sharing ideas, and expressing themselves\r\n\r\n- Building social-emotional skills through collaboration and role play\r\n\r\n- Developing problem-solving abilities as they navigate how to work together, make decisions, and run their pretend shop\r\n\r\nAnd the best part? This is only the beginning! With the amazing materials you helped us receive, we'll be transforming our dramatic play center all year long into new, exciting adventures—a dino safari, a fire station, a space station, and so much more!\r\n\r\nDramatic play is truly the heartbeat of early childhood learning. It gives our littlest learners a safe, joyful space to explore the world around them, express their ideas, and grow in confidence.\r\n\r\nFrom our entire Young Fives crew... THANK YOU for making this possible. You've made our classroom even more magical.","fullyFundedDate":1746787149653,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play/9309851/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Theobald","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4412913_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491859936315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/s-dusute"},{"teacherId":9399743,"projectId":9246119,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our 3rd grade book club program has flourished into a joyful, literacy-rich experience that has truly transformed our classroom.
