The rug is beautiful and creates a perfect learning space. My students and I use the rug multiple times a day. Most often, the classroom rug is where we sit and do a daily number talk. This is where we use mental computation and mental strategies to fluently add and subtract. Also, the classroom rug is used for a read aloud. This year I have decided to do an author study. I will be reading aloud books by Roald Dahl. The carpet area is also a place where my students partner or group read during our English language arts instruction.\r\n The classroom rug arrived a couple of days into the new school year. Therefore, my new class of third graders get to be the first ones to use the rug. They are so pleased to have this honor. my students and I are so grateful for your very kind act of generosity. We look forward to using our new learning space all year long.","fullyFundedDate":1753889632894,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-space-for-literacy-developmen/9403162/","projectTitle":"Creating a Space for Literacy Development and Community Building","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8132697_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634271281265","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8132697"},{"teacherId":9894674,"projectId":9074753,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for fully funding my DonorsChoose project! The label maker you provided has already made a tremendous difference in the classroom. With clearly labeled devices, cords, and storage areas, my students can quickly find what they need, reducing time spent searching for equipment and allowing for more hands-on learning. Transitions are smoother, distractions are minimized, and students are taking greater responsibility for their workspace.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest impacts has been fostering independence and accountability. Students now take pride in keeping our shared technology organized, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in how they care for their assigned devices. One student excitedly shared, \"Now I know exactly where my Chromebook and charger go—I won't mix it up again!\" These small but powerful moments show how organization can boost confidence and create a more focused learning environment.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more efficient, engaging, and student-centered space.

These outlets are essential for student well-being and engagement, and they help build teamwork, creativity, and perseverance. In addition, the academic posters and classroom supplies have strengthened daily instruction by providing clear visual supports that reinforce learning goals and expectations across subjects.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is a more welcoming, engaging, and inspiring place for students to grow both academically and personally. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for investing in their success and helping us build a classroom where every child feels supported and motivated to do their best.","fullyFundedDate":1699659910004,"projectUrl":"project/love-for-my-5th-graders/8009654/","projectTitle":"Love for My 5th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cascinai","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9355987"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83074","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":363,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.4,"schoolId":83074,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Agnes Risley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Agnes Risley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/agnes-risley-elementary-school/83074"}
