My Project

Putting a rug in my class will help me build class community and create more options for flexible learning and seating.

I am a teacher who prefers students to have flexibility in their learning, A carpet is a chance to add versatility to classroom seating.

When gathering students up for community time, a carpet is the perfect destination spot can serve as a great anchor. Students won’t question its purpose, they will know this is the space where we come to share great news and extend our learning.

This would be a wonderful addition to our classroom that can help boost the moral and joy in our students.
