With your help, I was able to have a rug for my classroom large enough for everyone to sit on. We use this rug everyday for our English Language Arts block, where we read stories together, hold discussions, and learn new things! My students love having somewhere inviting to sit down during class. Additionally, this rug has been used as a central meeting place in our classroom when we have free time. Often students will come to the rug to hang out with their friends, draw in their notebooks, and play games. The impact on my students has been insurmountable, and our classroom community would not be the same without it!","fullyFundedDate":1752004129392,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-2nd-graders-get-a-cozy-rug/9448741/","projectTitle":"Help My 2nd Graders Get a Cozy Rug!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10072170_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751942276490","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10072170"},{"teacherId":9914710,"projectId":9367927,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

These resources have already made such a meaningful impact on my students' learning and daily experiences at school. It is incredible to see how something that may seem so simple at first glance can transform the environment, routines, and overall excitement for learning.\r\nThe new rug has given us a comfortable and inviting gathering space for our morning meetings and whole-group activities. Before, students didn't always have a defined area where they could come together as a class community. Now, as soon as they see the rug, they know it is our space to connect, share, and learn together. It has created a sense of belonging for the students and has become a cornerstone of our daily routine. During morning meetings, students are more focused, comfortable, and engaged because they have a space that feels warm and welcoming. Throughout the day, whether we are working on a read-aloud, a group discussion, or simply taking a few moments to reset, the rug has truly become the heart of our classroom.\r\nThe Magna-Tiles have also been an incredible addition. At first, the students were just excited to build and create with them, but very quickly we discovered how valuable they are as learning tools. We have incorporated the Magna-Tiles into both math and spelling activities, and the students are thriving with this hands-on approach. For math, they love building shapes, exploring symmetry, and even creating three-dimensional structures that help them visualize concepts in new ways. In spelling, the tiles have given them a fun, interactive way to build words, experiment with sounds, and work collaboratively with their peers. It's inspiring to see how engaged they are—what feels like play is actually reinforcing key academic skills.\r\nBeyond the academics, the Magna-Tiles have encouraged teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. I often see students working together to design something bigger than they could have imagined on their own, learning how to communicate and share ideas in the process. These are skills that extend far beyond the classroom walls, and it's a joy to watch them grow in confidence as both learners and collaborators.\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support in helping to provide these resources. Your contribution has not only supplied materials but has also fostered joy, comfort, and a stronger sense of community in our classroom. The rug and Magna-Tiles are now a part of our daily lives at school, and they are making a difference every single day. It is heartwarming to see my students so engaged, eager, and comfortable as they learn, and I know that would not have been possible without your kindness.\r\nOn behalf of myself and my students, thank you for helping create a classroom that inspires learning, encourages creativity, and supports growth. Your generosity is deeply appreciated and will have a lasting impact on these children.","fullyFundedDate":1745270731831,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-better-classroom-new-rugs-an/9020858/","projectTitle":"Building a Better Classroom: New Rugs and Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liverman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9564916_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720528381285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9564916"},{"teacherId":9887110,"projectId":9029641,"letterContent":"WOW!
