My Project

My students spend a part of every day on the carpet. They receive whole group lessons, and they spend time during small groups and independent work on the rug. There is such a difference is student engagement and classroom community while students are seated at the rug.

Every child deserves a clean, welcoming, and safe place to sit in their classroom.

A new rug for my classroom will be loved and respected. It will not only provide my students this year with something to love, but my students for years to come. All students deserve a welcoming place to build a community, and I hope to be able to give this to them!
