The new classroom rug has quickly become one of our favorite spots! When my students first saw it, they were so excited. They couldn't wait to find \"their\" flower, and it immediately gave each child a special place to sit during our whole-group lessons.\r\n\r\nThe rug has been perfect for my class size because every student has a flower of their own. It has helped make transitions smoother, given students clear personal space, and created a cozy gathering area where we read stories, practice phonics, build number sense, and have class discussions every day. It has truly become the heart of our classroom.\r\n\r\nBeyond its functionality, the colorful design has brightened our room and made it feel warm, cheerful, and inviting. My students are proud of our classroom, and they love gathering together on the rug to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we'll use our rug every day for interactive read-alouds, partner discussions, morning meetings, and hands-on learning activities. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where they feel comfortable, included, and excited to learn. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our little classroom family!","fullyFundedDate":1746785697290,"projectUrl":"project/creating-cozy-space-for-learning-classr/9297842/","projectTitle":"Creating Cozy Space for Learning: Classroom Rug for Circle Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9079833_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752376505990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079833"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11227","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":700,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":15,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":11227,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St Martin East Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St Martin East Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/jackson-county-school-district/st-martin-east-elementary-school/11227"}
