My Project

I am asking for a new rug for my classroom. Our current rug has been in use for almost 15 years and despite our best efforts has seen better days.

A new rug will give the students a designated area to meet and help provide a sense of classroom community.

In my over 15 years in education I have learned that when the classroom is well organized and clean the students are more productive and student behavior is improved. This new rug will be a huge part of ensuring that students have a welcoming place to come everyday.
