Edit
My 4th grade classroom currently does not have a single rug or carpet. I am a reading teacher, and would like a space for my students and I to sit together to discuss current topics and reading strategies. Sharing thoughts and ideas about a book is an integral part of reading for meaning, and a large area rug would provide us a comfortable place to learn together. It also provides a place to congregate for morning meeting, a time to greet each other and reflect on the day ahead. I specifically chose the"Hands Together Community Rug" for the message that it has printed on the interior. Diversity, acceptance, and kindness are key in creating my classroom environment, and the daily reminder of self worth and love will be invaluable to my students.
