Comfort Enhances Focus!

Help me give my students a comfortable seating place to enhance their learning and social skills.

My Project

Having a comfortable rug in my classroom will mean a lot to my students. They will have a spot in the meeting area. A place that is clean and welcoming to them as they arrive in the morning, during learning, and if they choose to have a quiet reading area at any other time of the day. A comfortable rug means they can turn and talk with a partner during sharing time and this helps to develop their social and emotional skills.

When you donate to our class project of getting a comfortable rug, you will be helping to get the students more focused and thereby enhance their learning.

Whiteboard erasers are needed in my classroom to enable my students to practice writing more and be able to erase and continue to work on a skill as needed to get better. They also need crayons to help with their creativity.
