My Project

My students live in Southwest Michigan. They are enthusiastic learners who are excited to come to school each day and have the promise of free college when they finish school in our district!

We need a rug for our classroom!

We do so much learning together- not at our desks- and this colorful rug is the perfect, cheery gathering spot!

Sitting together on our rug, close by friends, and the teacher is my favorite way to teach. This rug is perfect... it's colorful, has letters so we can use it for learning games... and has a space for each of my little leaners!
