It has been wonderful to see their excitement as they discover patterns and make connections between numbers. What makes this resource even more special is that its uses extend beyond math! My reading groups have also enjoyed using the rug as a comfortable spot for independent reading, creating another inviting space for students to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided my students in grades 2–5 with more than just a classroom rug. It has given them a fun, engaging way to build important academic skills while making learning feel exciting and accessible.

These clay projects were painted with neon tempera and watercolors.\r\n\r\nThe art show was a resounding success. We transformed a section of our cafeteria into an art gallery by \"walling off\" it with bulletin board paper. The supplies you donated truly helped create this magical transformation, and the students, parents, and staff were all amazed by the glowing forest that emerged.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful to everyone who donated.
