My Project

An interactive rug for students of all learning styles! Help us to provide a rug which will not only improve comfort of our students, but also foster collaboration! This rug will help them collaborate in interactive learning opportunities. Our rug will be used throughout the entire school day for morning meeting, reading, math, etc.

It will help to create an environment that is welcoming and to interactive with peers and teachers.

Each student will be provided a spot on the rug which will be their "rug spot."

This rug will help to contribute to the learning of many students in our ICT classroom! Thank you in advance for your kindness.
