Your kindness has made a meaningful and positive difference in both their learning experience and my teaching.\r\n\r\nThe rug has become the heart of our classroom—a warm, welcoming space where students gather each day for morning meetings, stories, lessons, classroom discussions, and community-building activities. It gives my students a comfortable and structured place to sit, focus, participate, and learn together.\r\n\r\nHaving this designated learning space has improved student engagement, strengthened our classroom routines, and helped create a greater sense of belonging. My students are excited to come to the rug, share their ideas, listen to one another, and grow as a classroom family. It has also allowed me to teach more effectively by bringing students together in an environment that supports focus, interaction, and meaningful learning.\r\n\r\nWhat may seem like a simple classroom rug has truly become an important part of our daily experience. Your generosity did more than provide a classroom item—you helped create a safe, joyful, and nurturing space where my little superheroes can learn, connect, and thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and supporting our classroom. Your kindness has been an incredible blessing, and we sincerely appreciate the positive impact you have made.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\n\r\nMrs. Brandi Watson\r\nKindergarten Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1786890987505,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-classroom-rug/10470667/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Classroom Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Watson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7588647_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786504883854","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7588647"},{"teacherId":4666439,"projectId":10486202,"letterContent":"The sensory items have been so helpful. The majority of the children in our class have autism spectrum disorders. With their disability they have intense sensory needs.\r\n\r\nMany of the items we received are placed throughout the classroom. They are in the Safe place, and in many centers. The sensory items are also used during whole group activities such as circle time. They help the students in staying calm and focused. When the children are ready to learn, they benefit greatly with regards to their educational objectives.\r\n\r\nDue to HIPPA laws and confidentiality, I cannot show the faces of the children, but have taken many pictures of the items throughout the room.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1786890987274,"projectUrl":"project/two-days-before-the-start-of-school-maj/10486202/","projectTitle":"Two Days Before the Start of School, Major changes.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4666439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1789173197566","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4666439"},{"teacherId":4666439,"projectId":10425505,"letterContent":"We so much appreciate your help with our classroom carpet.\r\n\r\nMy classroom consists of kindergarteners who have autism and speech delays. They were having to sit in chairs and it was very uncomfortable for them. They also were wiggling around and it was somewhat isolating.\r\n\r\nThe day the carpet arrived they all noticed right away. They were so excited. Students were asking to sit on specific color squares.\r\n\r\nToday in a math lesson, we were finding squares in the room and one student said\" the carpet has squares!\"\r\n\r\nThank you so much for giving us a safe place.
