A Classroom Rug for my Littles

Funded May 8, 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely rug that you donated to my classroom! Not only is it beautiful, drawing the eyes to the center of the classroom, but students enjoy sitting on the rug during lessons, having something soft to place their bottoms on.

The rug is also a learning tool - I use it in science to describe it as solid matter, I use it during math to help cement understanding about rows and columns, and I use it during vocabulary lessons to explain what the word "smooth" means.

Perhaps more importantly, the rug is our sacred space in which we meet as a class every Wednesday to share stories and memories about our lives. Students look forward to our community circle every week, they love crowding around the rug and sitting on it knowing that this is a space in which everyone will listen to their stories.

Students love our classroom rug and every morning they know that they can look forward to coming over to it. Thank you so much again for your generous donation!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Figueroa
