Rug for Firsties

My students need a rug to make carpet time much more comfortable for them. It will serve as a daily meeting place for student instruction.

My Students

When I was in first grade, nothing was more exciting to me than sitting on the rug and listening to my teacher read a story. My students are still excited about listening, but do not have a rug to sit on and are not as comfortable as they could be. They have no cushioned place to rest their rumps.

I teach in a Title I school, where almost 65% of the students are free or reduced lunch.

My classroom consists of 18 students who vary in their abilities. In my general education classroom, I teach inclusion students, who have specific learning disabilities, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students, and gifted students. Even though my students differ in background knowledge and capabilities, they each have their own special talents and come to school eager to learn.

My Project

Students will use this rug throughout the day. We have 'carpet time' during whole group for reading, math, social studies, science, and read aloud time every day. Students also use it during small group and center activities. I definitely know this would be a favorite place to work when students partner during our 'work around the room' activities.

I want to make the 7 hours that students are at school the best 7 hours of their day.

This rug would be a terrific aesthetic addition to our classroom as well as serve a very practical purpose. I know my students would love this rug and be even more excited to come to circle time knowing they will get to learn on it and be comfortable.
