Help Mrs. Lochel

Can we "Count On You"? Can you count on these first grade students to be the future leaders of our country? I am a first grade teacher in a great town in South Carolina. The children here have great opportunities and very involved parents.

Currently our classroom is somewhat disjointed, to say the least. I am in the process of creating an organized environment in which the children feel comfortable to learn and explore. We need an organized math space so that the children can join together, use math manipulatives and participate in calendar time. We've always moved around the room trying to all squeeze into one spot or another.

Having this "Count On Me" rug would provide us with the perfect boundary to create our math area. Having this organized area would allow the children to have easier transitions from one subject to math. They will know where to go each day!

Please support this project and help make our classroom more inviting and organized. The children need a specific place to gather for math practice and we need you to help us do this! Can we "Count On...you"?
