When I shared with the students someone chose our class to make a donation to provide this item the students were ecstatic. I wish you could have seen their face and felt the excitement they had even before the item arrived in the mail. \r\n\r\nThe rug arrived in August before our students returned to school. It was such an exciting time to unroll the rug and realize the amazing difference your generous donation made in our teaching space. Our colleagues all complimented our rug and expressed what a difference it made in our room. It really made it inviting and brightened up our space. \r\n\r\nOnce the students started school they were thrilled with the NEW RUG in our classroom. Each student commented on their favorite section of the rug. This rug was also purchased to help develop language with our English Language learners. The beautiful pictures help our students to say words and use words in sentence to express facts they know about the weather, seasons, or calendar words. The comfortable rug is a great place for students to be more relaxed while using clipboards to complete work. Since the rug is large the students have the opportunity to sit on different parts of the rug each day which they all love. \r\n\r\n\r\nYour donations provided a comfortable rug that our students will use every day and will continue to use for many years. It will be exciting to see the progression over the years in how this rug is beneficial to our students. In the primary grades the students may start out only being able to point to pictures using no words, as they develop more language students will point to pictures and identify them in English and eventually students will begin to say sentences about items on the rug, use English to describe weather that has happened earlier in the day, as well as, express what they know about the seasons. This rug is truly such a wonderful gift for the students at our school. Thank you so much for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1777980562349,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-community-learning-rug/10165873/","projectTitle":"Comfy Community Learning Rug!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. THROWER","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10468685"},{"teacherId":9811989,"projectId":9374831,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our male mentor program now has engaging materials and games that are transforming how our mentors and mentees connect, learn, and grow together.\r\n\r\nWe are using these new resources during our weekly mentoring sessions to build teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. The games have become a bridge for meaningful conversations about respect, perseverance, and accountability which are skills our young men are practicing in real time. Students were very excited with wide smiles and immediate curiosity when they saw the new materials. They couldn't wait to try everything out. Thanks to you, the next steps for our students include using these materials to support their ongoing relationship with their mentor. These resources will continue to support growth, confidence, and strong relationships throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their futures.
