My Students

My second graders are eager and excited to learn. They are energetic kiddos, who love movement but also are in need of structure in order to succeed. A colorful, organized carpet, would be a great attribute to their learning time, as it would do just that! My students are hardworking, kind, busy, and a lot of fun. Many of them come from low-income families that are not able to financially support their educational journeys, but they deserve the very best!

My Project

Think back to elementary school, sitting in the gathering area, listening to a read-aloud or engaging in a lesson. The classroom rug filling the space beneath you, allowing for both comfort and a productive area to learn.

Hard-working students deserve the best learning environment we can provide.

Many of my students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, but that doesn't stop them from trying their best. My students deserve a safe, comfortable, and engaging space to learn!

Imagine sending 15-second graders to the gathering area, some spread out and others clustered close by. Within moments, they are moving around, squirming, and playing with that random crayon they found under a desk. "Stop it!" "You're in my spot!" "I was sitting there first!" "Stop touching me!" Eventually, the outbursts become too distracting for the rest of the class and I must stop the lesson to redirect students back to their original spots. This is a common occurrence in the classroom! Unfortunately, when I must stop lessons to redirect students on where they should be sitting, we are losing out on valuable learning time.

With this classroom rug, students will have an assigned colorful square to sit in during lessons, in order to provide for a richer learning environment! This will not only allow for more organized lessons but also an inviting space to learn. This space will be a perfect area for the whole class, small group, and independent learning. Thank you so much for considering my classroom for your donation!
