Your generosity has truly made a difference in our classroom. When my students first saw the smiley face rug, their faces lit up with excitement. Several of them shared that it felt \"like a party\" in our classroom! For many of my English language learners, having their own special, comfortable space to sit and learn has helped them feel safe, included, and ready to participate.\r\n\r\nWe use the rug every single day for story time and English language lessons. It has quickly become the heart of our learning space, where students gather to listen, talk, practice new vocabulary, and build confidence in speaking English. I've already noticed students becoming more engaged and understanding the language more clearly as they learn together in this welcoming environment. The rug has helped transform our classroom into a warm, inviting place where students feel excited to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our lessons, the rug will remain a central space for shared reading, language discussions, and collaborative activities that support listening and speaking skills. It will be a place where stories are told, friendships grow, and confidence blossoms. Thank you for giving my students more than just a rug. You've helped create a space where learning feels joyful, comforting, and full of possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1755745052245,"projectUrl":"project/one-rug-many-stories-cozy-space-for-yo/9489332/","projectTitle":"One Rug, Many Stories: Cozy Space for Young Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baggett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp594670_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535677575825","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbaggett"},{"teacherId":9902327,"projectId":9121590,"letterContent":"On behalf of my 5th grade class, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of STEM items.
