What was once an undefined and worn space has transformed into the heart of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nEach day, my students gather on the carpet for whole group instruction. It provides clear boundaries and a structured space where they can focus, engage in discussions, and participate in lessons with confidence. The soft, defined area has created a sense of security and routine that is especially important in our special education classroom.\r\n\r\nBeyond instruction, the rug has become a favorite spot for independent reading. Students eagerly choose a place on the carpet to dive into books, practice literacy skills, and enjoy quiet moments of learning. The welcoming space encourages comfort and concentration, helping students build both stamina and a love for reading.\r\n\r\nThe carpet has also brought joy to our classroom during parties and celebrations. Whether we are recognizing achievements, celebrating birthdays, or enjoying special classroom events, the rug provides a central gathering place where we can come together as a community.\r\n\r\nIn just two months, this simple addition has strengthened our routines, improved student engagement, and fostered a greater sense of belonging. Your support has helped create a warm, inclusive environment where my students feel safe, valued, and excited to learn each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764206891507,"projectUrl":"project/on-the-floorhelp-us-get-a-rug-to-learn/9865553/","projectTitle":"On the Floor—Help Us Get a Rug to Learn More!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sepp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6551779_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730155590998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missorban"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89558","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":758,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.2,"schoolId":89558,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sara Lindemuth Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sara Lindemuth Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/susquehanna-township-school-district/sara-lindemuth-elementary-school/89558"}
