The rug has completely changed our whole-group lessons—it's now our go-to spot for mini-lessons, read-alouds, and class discussions. One moment that really stood out was during a math lesson on multi-step volume problems, when students gathered on the rug to model their thinking with the new materials and explain their strategies to classmates. Having a comfortable, shared space made students more willing to participate, listen to one another, and take academic risks. The supplies have also helped students stay organized and focused during independent and small-group work, which has made our classroom feel calmer and more purposeful.\r\n\r\nWhen students first walked in and saw the rug and new materials, their reaction was immediate excitement—lots of smiles, comments, and questions about when we could use them. Several students told me the rug made the room feel more welcoming and \"like a real learning space.\" Looking ahead, we'll continue using these resources as we dive deeper into problem-solving projects, collaborative discussions, and independent practice tied to our current math and reading units. The next steps include using the rug for peer feedback circles and strategy sharing, while the supplies will support hands-on learning and help students build confidence as they tackle more complex tasks. Your generosity is directly shaping how my students learn, collaborate, and show up for each other every day.","fullyFundedDate":1746711271690,"projectUrl":"project/support-our-5th-graders/9192955/","projectTitle":"Support Our 5th Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pomerantz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9523651_orig.png?crop=1094,1094,x0,y51&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714498194493","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9523651"},{"teacherId":4937606,"projectId":8509616,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping my students to receive some much needed resources for a successful school year! We received so many amazing resources and I want to tell you how we have been using them so far this school year.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite classroom items are communication folders. They are sturdy folders that are great to send home each day with homework and important papers for students to give to their parents. Student's bring them back the next day and I can check them. These folders are amazing because they last all year and they help me ensure that parents are receiving important papers from school.\r\n\r\nPencils of course are an important necessity! We go through them so quickly and I love that these particular pencils come pre-sharpened. The expo markers and erasers are great to use with our mini white boards. Students love using them to share learning.\r\n\r\nMarkers, colored pencils, tissues, and paper towels are all items that we use everyday and I usually need to provide these myself, so thank you for helping us to get these important materials!","fullyFundedDate":1727465155505,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-essentials/8509616/","projectTitle":"Back to School Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Englebert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4937606_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y75&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659903055672","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/genevieve-kabo"},{"teacherId":10173789,"projectId":9584647,"letterContent":"Hello to all of my wonderful donors!\r\n\r\nFirst off, i would like to thank you all for your generous donations to my Autistic Support classroom!
