My Project

The classroom rug I am requesting will benefit my students by providing them a space to gather within our classroom. The classroom rug will make the children more comfortable as they sit on the floor. During school, children are given the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills and create positive peer relationships. I encourage my students to actively listen to one another and build on to each other’s ideas! Our time on the floor together allows us to practice using our conversation skills while showing respect to all voices within the classroom.

My students are eager to learn and work together!

We spend a lot of time learning and collaborating with one another during Turn & Talks on the floor. My goal is to have a classroom rug that can make my classroom more inviting to all learners. By providing this rug for my class, you will help create a safe, and joyous learning environment!
