Comfy, Classy Carpet
Funded Jul 23, 2019Thank you so much for the carpet! We use it daily for many activities. The majority of the time we sit at the carpet to read a story together. This read aloud time is special to the students because they enjoy listening to books even though they are upper elementary students. This time is important because it allows the students to hear a fluent reader while integrating current topics from the text.
I was lucky enough to receive the rug before the school year started. As a result the students were able to come into a classroom with a brand new carpet big enough to seat them all. We used it on our very first day as we read "Chrysanthemum" by David Henkes,. We also talked about how everyone is different, but we all should be treated kindly.
As the school year continues, we will use the carpet on a daily basis for read alouds and for English Language Arts rotations. This carpet is such a blessing for my classroom as we finally have one large enough to seat my entire class!”
With gratitude,

Read More Reader's Theater
Funded Jul 23, 2019I am so thankful you chose to find my project! I truly can’t wait to introduce reader’s theater to my students this year! I know that they will love it and gain valuable literacy skills. These particular sets will also allow me to integrate social studies into our reading time.”
