The moment my students walked in and saw it, their eyes lit up with excitement. They immediately gathered together on the rug, smiling and commenting on how soft and how excited they were to choose a smiley face to sit on. It has quickly become the heart of our classroom—a space where we meet each morning, share stories, and learn together.\r\n\r\nThis rug has given my students a comfortable, welcoming place to sit and engage during lessons. It helps create a sense of community as we gather for circle time, read-alouds, and group discussions as well as an area to play on with STEM toys during centers. Already, I have noticed that students are more focused and eager to participate because they feel cozy and included in our learning space.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and generosity. Your gift has made a lasting difference in our classroom, and my students will continue to enjoy and learn on this rug for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1750168253911,"projectUrl":"project/a-fresh-rug-leads-to-successful-kinderg/9384330/","projectTitle":"A Fresh Rug Leads to Successful Kindergarten Fun and Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. France","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10045626_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749226742156","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsfrance-kinderteacher"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3004","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.1,"schoolId":3004,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Greenwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Greenwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/lee-county-schools/greenwood-elementary-school/3004"}
