The addition of a quality, comfortable, and visually engaging rug for circle time is not merely a piece of furniture—it is a crucial element that enhances the learning environment, fosters connection, and nurtures the emotional and social development of our children.\r\nCircle time is one of the most important parts of the preschool day. It is during this time that children begin to develop important skills such as listening, sharing, cooperating, and communicating. A well-designed circle time rug offers a clear, defined space where children can gather together, promoting a sense of community and belonging. This visual cue helps children understand that it's time to transition to a group activity, signaling the start of focused learning.\r\nThe rug also provides comfort, making it easier for children to sit and engage in activities without distractions. With an inviting, soft surface, children are more likely to stay focused and participate actively. Moreover, colorful and fun designs on the rug can support the development of early literacy and numeracy skills. Rugs with shapes, numbers, or alphabet designs can become integral learning tools that complement our lessons.\r\nIn addition, the rug serves as a symbol of inclusivity. Each child, regardless of their background or learning abilities, has a space in the circle. It becomes a foundation for developing strong social bonds, where children learn how to take turns, listen to one another, and express their ideas.\r\nInvesting in a high-quality circle time rug is an investment in the children's future. It enhances not just the physical environment but the emotional, social, and academic development of our students. I strongly believe that providing this space will significantly improve the quality of our preschool program and create a more engaging and supportive learning atmosphere.\r\nThank you for considering the importance of this simple yet impactful addition to our preschool classroom. I look forward to your support in making this vision a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1733757038058,"projectUrl":"project/circle-time-rug/8912787/","projectTitle":"Circle Time Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O'Neal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9821538_orig.jpg?crop=622,622,x8,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751112235751","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9821538"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20833","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":642,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":46,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":20833,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brier Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brier Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/brier-creek-elementary-school/20833"}
