When my students first saw the carpet, their faces lit up with excitement. They eagerly gathered around it, smiling, pointing, and asking when they could sit on it. Several students immediately shared how \"soft\" and \"cozy\" it looked, and others proudly chose a spot as if it already belonged to them. Their joy and enthusiasm showed just how much this welcoming addition meant to them.\r\n\r\nThe carpet has become the heart of our classroom—a place where students come together for morning meetings, read-alouds, lessons, and collaborative activities. It provides a comfortable, structured space that helps young learners stay focused and engaged while building a sense of belonging. Sitting together on the carpet encourages positive behavior, cooperation, and communication, all of which are essential for kindergarten success.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the Cozy Carpet supports social-emotional growth by helping students feel safe, included, and connected to one another. This simple but meaningful addition has transformed our classroom environment, making it more inviting and supportive for learning. Thanks to generous donors, our students now have a space where they feel comfortable, valued, and excited to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757547647659,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-carpet-to-build-community-comfor/9596639/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Carpet to Build Community, Comfort, and Classroom Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Amengor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5491179_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1530202087182","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5491179"},{"teacherId":3557437,"projectId":9748024,"letterContent":"It's only been a few days and we are in love with our new rug.
