My Project

Our classroom meeting area is where we get together every morning to greet each other and welcome a new day of learning. In the meeting area we read, sing, listen, share ideas, and build giant structures. We currently do not have a rug in our meeting area. My students are not comfortable sitting on a bare floor.

I would like my classroom to have a rug big enough for everyone to have a spot.

The rug will make our classroom warm, cozy, and comfortable and would greatly improve our learning environment.
