My Project

A classroom rug is an important learning space in the classroom. The classroom rug is really the center of the classroom. Most of our learning takes place on the classroom rug. This rug will be new, bright and inviting.

When students come together as a class on the classroom rug, many skills are being developed and skills to connect as a classroom family are built.

I am also requesting some classroom essentials such as paper for our writing, plastic folders for different activities, whiteboard erasers, and laminating sheets. The supplies will help our classroom run smoothly and allow each student to have the tools they need to succeed!
