Voracious Readers Need Your Help!

My students need a new rug to start off a new school year. What's better than a rug that teaches? That's why they need this rug with a map of the world and it's animals.

My Students

Do you remember the excitement of listening to stories about cultures around the world? My students are so excited to gather together and explore the world around them through our classroom. This school year, they have no place to sit together while they learn-our class rug pictured was destroyed.

My wonderful, active, excited students are in third grade in a high poverty area in New York City.

My students have limited life experiences which is all the more reason to provide a warm, nurturing, comfortable classroom where they can feel safe. They are so eager and excited to learn about the world around them that I am inspired by them daily.

My Project

With this beautiful rug, my students will be able to gather together in our class meeting area and share experiences, listen to stories, read together and explore the world around them. This particular rug is perfect for this class-it ties in with our World Culture and Geography Social Studies Curriculum and our Plant and Animal Life Science Curriculum. This beautiful rug will help provide a comfortable, print-rich environment to help my students grow into the Scholars they deserve to be!

In closing, this particular rug will help students become interested in the world around them and help inspire an awareness of the world in which these amazing children are the future of.
