My Project

A classroom rug that’s big enough to for everyone to sit on is an essential piece of furniture in elementary school. When there’s not enough room for everyone to sit on the rug some students feel left out.

The rug is the most important spot in the classroom.

It’s where we feel like a team and collaborate. It’s where we share our feelings and ideas. It provides a calm, comfortable and safe place for children to learn and collaborate with their peers.

We would use the rug as we learn throughout the day. It would allow everyone to feel included and valued.
