Class Rug!

Funded Aug 25, 2022

Room 16 can't thank you enough for the generous funding of our classroom rug! We use it every single day. We are a class of 28 third grade students, and we come to the rug 3-4 times a day. We could not wait to unwrap it the moment it was delivered and get using it right away!

You should have seen their faces when our PE teacher came in with the huge roll! "It's the rug! It's the rug!" They were so excited. We opened it up right away and adjusted the desks a smidge, and we got straight to using it! They were so happy and so excited! Thank you to our families who were so excited to be able to help funding a project that is so necessary and gets used every day! The kids even love taking turns sweeping it.

We will continue to use this rug throughout the year. Here is where I teach math, first thing every morning with them very close to me using their whiteboards so I can see their work and their thinking instantly and in the moment and make my choices as a teacher as far as what needs to be practiced and done again. We use it daily for writing workshop, another thing they love. But I think they love the most on the rug is listening to books being read aloud just for fun. They stretch out and listen to stories and enjoy the shared experience in a warm, inviting environment.

We really can't thank you enough, and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much, from all of us in room 16!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. McLean
