A Clean Place to Sit and Learn!

Funded Sep 29, 2022

Thank you so much for providing us with the ability to give our students an ample, clean space to learn on. Every day we meet on the rug as a whole group for quick lessons, and then many students stay on the rug for small groups. They love to sprawl out and work peacefully on something they know that is brand new for them.

When we first got the message that our rug had been delivered, we were ecstatic! We had marked our class calendar with the anticipated delivery date, and students shared our excitement that it had come early. Instead of waiting until after school to unroll and set up our new rug, we immediately had students help us move desks and unroll the rug and help tape down the sides.

The students couldn't wait to sit on their new color button and actually have room for their legs! They marveled at how much smaller the old rug was and how with the new rug, everyone could fit.

We use this rug daily. It is a fixture in our classroom. Small groups, whole group and sometimes....when they feel bothered by a peer at their table group......they move to the rug to work independently. It is a free zone that students know they can use.

Every day we walk into our classroom and love seeing the clean, bright colors. Thank you so much for having given us this generous gift.”
