We are also at the carpet for phonemic awareness activities as well as part of our ELA and Math lessons. My students have been able to focus much better having their own individual space rather than just a general area to sit in. It has also helped with classroom transitions to and from the rug since I am now able to call students by the color row they sit in. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your help towards this project!","fullyFundedDate":1739155245397,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-classroom-carpet/9003831/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Classroom Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Unger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1161682_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759512998573","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mtorban"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_129479","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":461,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.9,"schoolId":129479,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Salisbury Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Salisbury Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/salisbury-township-school-district/harry-s-truman-elementary-school/129479"}
