It has quickly become the heart of our learning space. My students and I use it daily for morning meetings, read-alouds, and group discussions.

The rug has given everyone a comfortable and inviting space which has made sharing ideas and listening to one another even more meaningful.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first walked in and saw the rug, their faces lit up with excitement. They loved the spots and many of them jumped from spot to spot! Their joy and enthusiasm showed me just how much this new addition means to us and how it is going to impact us this year. \r\n\r\nRight now, we're doing a lot of getting to know everyone and the rug has become the perfect spot where students take turns sharing all the things about themselves. Our next step is to use this space for partner reading and group work helping students support one another as they grow as readers and thinkers. This rug is going to transform the way we come together to learn this year, and we are so grateful for your support in making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1749337317125,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-ps-classroom-rug/9394793/","projectTitle":"Mrs .

Your generosity and support through DonorsChoose have made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\nBefore your donation, we were using an old rug that had certainly seen better days. It had been in our classroom for many years and was noticeably worn out—faded, frayed around the edges, and stained from years of use. While it had served us well, it no longer provided the kind of clean, inviting, and comfortable space that my students deserve. I had been dreaming for quite some time of being able to replace it with something that would truly enhance our learning environment, and thanks to you, that dream has now become a reality.\r\n\r\nThis new rug has quickly become the heart of our classroom. We use it for everything—morning meetings, story time, small group discussions, partner work, and even quiet moments when students just need a calm place to sit and reset. The soft surface provides a sense of comfort and security, and having a defined, clean space for gathering has helped build a stronger sense of community in our room. Students are more engaged during group activities, more focused during lessons, and more willing to collaborate when seated in a space that feels both inviting and respected.\r\n\r\nIt may seem like a simple item, but the impact of a classroom rug is profound. For many of my students, school is a safe haven—a place where they feel supported and cared for. Having a clean, beautiful rug to sit on makes them feel like they matter. It tells them that someone out there—someone they may never meet—cares enough to give them a better place to learn. That message alone is powerful and lasting.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than just provide a classroom with a new rug; it has provided us with a fresh start, a more comfortable environment, and a stronger sense of pride in our learning space. My students have been more enthusiastic, more engaged, and even more respectful of our classroom since the rug arrived. It has set the tone for a more positive and productive school year.\r\n\r\nThank you, sincerely, for believing in our classroom and for choosing to support public education. Your kindness has made a lasting impact—not just on the physical environment, but on the hearts and minds of the students who learn here every day.","fullyFundedDate":1750774668634,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-colorful-rug/9422740/","projectTitle":"Cozy Colorful Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Banks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9652642"},{"teacherId":9367361,"projectId":8124717,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of classroom supplies for my students.
