When the rug first arrived, the students were absolutely thrilled. They could hardly wait to explore it and claim their new spots. The excitement was contagious and set the tone for a fresh, energized start to our day.\r\n\r\nThe rug has become the heart of our classroom. Students have a clearly defined place to sit, which supports focus and attention during lessons. It also fosters a sense of community that my previous class did not have. Students are able to see and hear one another while working together, which encourages collaboration, communication, and active participation.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, the rug will continue to support our classroom learning as students engage in group activities, discussions, and collaborative projects. Your generosity has created not just a space, but a foundation for building confidence, focus, and community in my classroom, and I am so grateful for the impact it has already made on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1753967034346,"projectUrl":"project/a-rug-for-all-creating-an-inclusive-kin/9365226/","projectTitle":"A Rug for All: Creating an Inclusive Kindergarten Gathering Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kerrigan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1032884"},{"teacherId":4518899,"projectId":9545713,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of our classroom rug and vacuum!

It is a cozy place where students feel comfortable, connected, and excited to learn. The shapes and colors are fun and engaging, sparking curiosity every day. \r\n\r\nEven more special is how the students have taken ownership of this new space. With the vacuum you helped provide, they are learning to care for their classroom and take pride in keeping it clean.
