Once we unrolled the new one, we were welcomed with that wonderful \"new rug\" smell. It was the students' idea to create rules for the new rug to keep it staying new. Since day one, every student has abided by the newly instated rules!\r\n\r\nThe size, shape, and design of our new rug is more conducive to our classroom space. Each student has their own \"apple\" to sit on, and we can easily assemble in a circle for Morning Meeting. Students love to relax on the rug to read a book, play a math game with a partner, lie on their back to do mindfulness exercises, lie on their bellies and practice their heart words on whiteboards, or spread out to watch Wild Kratts. So many memories have been made at this rug. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1760720035509,"projectUrl":"project/rug-replacement-required/9662321/","projectTitle":"Rug Replacement Required!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lenart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5975463_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539387724337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5975463"},{"teacherId":9939497,"projectId":9636681,"letterContent":"When the materials first got delivered, the students felt like Christmas came early!

We chart daily on the chart paper, use the trays to keep manipulatives organized, birthday prizes make the kids feel so special, scissors are helpful for completing crafts and work. You will see all of this represented in the student thank yous!\r\n\r\nA fan favorite is the lego set. We have used them to play and build, but we also used them to build an obstacle course for our Halloween Spider Relay Race!\r\n\r\nThese materials have really helped create my dream classroom!

When the students first saw the cookie shop, their faces lit up with pure joy. They immediately began assigning roles—bakers, decorators, customers—and the room buzzed with imaginative play. Students worked together to \"mix\" ingredients, design colorful cookies, and proudly run their pretend bakery. It was the perfect example of how open-ended materials spark creativity, collaboration, and meaningful learning in our classroom.\r\nThe excitement doesn't stop there! In the coming months, students are eager to explore the veterinarian's office, flower shop, and farmers market. Every morning, they come in ready to dive into STEM activities that encourage them to build, invent, and use their imaginations. Your support has truly brought our classroom to life, giving every child the opportunity to play, create, and discover in meaningful ways.","fullyFundedDate":1753388669482,"projectUrl":"project/the-purpose-of-play/9175813/","projectTitle":"The Purpose of Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ebert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9718385_orig.png?crop=796,796,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725822832940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9718385"},{"teacherId":9939497,"projectId":9152865,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation of materials for parent gifts for mother's and father's day.

I also have individual sensory bins. Each bin represented a different polar theme: (1)slime with penguins, (2)fake snow with counting igloos, (3)\"Don't Break the Ice\" game, (4)Thin Ice game to work on fine motor, (5)arctic magna tiles, (6)STEAM ice blocks.
