We use it daily for morning meetings, read-alouds, partner discussions, and small-group lessons, and it has already created a warm, inviting spot where students can gather and learn together. One of my favorite moments was watching the class settle in for our first rug read-aloud—everyone leaned in close, fully engaged, and excited to share their thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the rug, they gasped, cheered, and immediately asked if we could have story time right away. They said they couldn't wait to find their special spot.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward with our current literacy and math units, the rug will continue to support partner talk, whole-group instruction, and collaborative activities. It has truly transformed our classroom community, and we are so grateful for the comfort and connection it brings to our learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1763474794239,"projectUrl":"project/learning-starts-at-the-carpet/9521210/","projectTitle":"Learning Starts at the Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. See","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047390_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748658737958","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-see"},{"teacherId":10047390,"projectId":9395036,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our \"Love for Literacy\" project has transformed the way my students experience reading each day.

Because students now have immediate access to six books right inside their desks, they're able to practice these skills authentically—through stories that interest them and reflect their lives. These texts also help us work on fluency, comprehension strategies, and stamina, all of which are key goals in 2nd grade.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels alive. Students read during our independent reading block, participate in small-group guided reading lessons, and eagerly share book recommendations with one another. It has created a culture where books are talked about, traded, and celebrated. For many of my Title I students—who often do not have books at home—this daily access to high-quality literature has been empowering. The classroom library has become their favorite place to explore, relax, and lose themselves in a story.\r\n\r\nA few students are shining especially bright with these new additions. One student who rarely chose to read independently now proudly carries his book bag around the class and engages with literature regularly. Another shy reader has found confidence through graphic novels and now volunteers to read aloud during lessons. Seeing their excitement reminds me daily of the impact your support has made.

Many of them had never encountered certain items, like felt paper, which sparked a lot of questions and enthusiasm.

In our play kitchen, for example, they have expanded their vocabulary, learned about new varieties and combinations of food, and so much more. They love creating meals for each other and having these materials has made a huge difference. \r\n\r\nIf they are not creating in the kitchen, they are building with the blocks. The addition of wooden blocks, cars, and people has made the block center a popular activity for my students. I love seeing them build little towns, complete with roads and bridges, and use their imaginations to re-enact life experiences through their eyes. The vocabulary and connections they are experiencing are helping them build foundational language that will stay with them throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your support of our classroom, and especially your support of all public education classrooms.
