My Project

This project will provide my students

with a new rug to use in our classroom.

With this rug, students will have their

own square to sit in, providing them with

the comfort of their own personal

space, but still being surrounded by

friends. This rug will be used many

times throughout the day, as we sit on

the rug for morning meetings, guided

reading workshops, math workshops,

SEL and more! What better way to learn together than to gather on the carpet and share stories and ideas every day.
