The students in my class love their new classroom rug. The look on their faces when I surprised them was amazing! Everyday they gather together for morning meeting, complete center activities, work in partnerships to read, and it's a place to sit during lessons. We are truly grateful to you!\r\nThe classroom rug brings our classroom to life. The students enjoy gathering with friends and with me. It's a place for us to communicate together and learn in small groups.

We were in need of an easel that wouldn't take up too much space. This one was perfect! The children use it everyday for their sight words. The words hang perfectly for them to see them. It gives students a chance to act like the teacher and say the words while the students repeat them. On the other side is a dry erase board in which we use for math problems or to copy things from the board for writing instruction. It has come in such great use!!\r\n\r\nThank you again!!","fullyFundedDate":1737928652008,"projectUrl":"project/one-easelone-big-difference/9077034/","projectTitle":"One Easel…One Big Difference!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Paino-Bove","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1536206_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1452911524675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1536206"},{"teacherId":9719200,"projectId":8723117,"letterContent":"First and foremost thank you so much for your generous gift to my class. This has made such an impact in our classroom that you can't even imagine. When students get an opportunity they are able to sit and either read books or work on their ipads doing classwork. They find the space great to sit because they are comfortable and it makes a difference because otherwise they would sit on the rug or their seats. Students love to sit on the seats that thanks to your generosity we are able to enjoy in our classroom.

Thanks to your kindness, we now have a beautiful new carpet that has already made a significant impact on our learning environment. \r\n When my students walked in and saw the new carpet for the first time, their faces lit up with excitement. They were thrilled to have a bright, comfortable space where they could gather for morning meetings, storytime, and group activities. The carpet has quickly become the heart of our classroom-a place where students come together to collaborate, share ideas, dance, explore, and build connections. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a new carpet has created such a warm and inviting space for learning.\r\n Looking ahead, this carpet will play a vital role in helping my students develop important skills. We are currently working on enhancing our communication and teamwork abilities through group discussions and interactive learning. The carpet provides dedicated space where students can confidently participate in read-alouds, engage in partner work, and practice social-emotional skills during circle time. Your donation has provided us with a foundation-both literally and figuratively-for meaningful growth and learning.\r\n Once again, thank you for your generosity. Your contribution has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful. My students and I will cherish this space for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1735601554507,"projectUrl":"project/a-carpet-for-learning/9003590/","projectTitle":"A Carpet for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9872455_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734029031505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9872455"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21664","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":616,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":21664,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northern Parkway Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northern Parkway Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/uniondale-union-free-school-district/northern-parkway-elementary-school/21664"}
