My Project

A classroom rug is an important space in the classroom. The classroom rug is really the center of the classroom and is where most of our learning takes place. This rug will be new and inviting for all of my students!

When students come together on the classroom rug, we share, learn, work together and connect as a classroom family.

This rug will assist with daily routines such as "Morning Meeting," whole group lessons, and independent workstations.

This smiley face rug will brighten up our room and bring smiles to my students' faces as they sit on their spot, ready to learn!
