Gather and Grow: a Classroom Rug for Focus and Friendship

Help me give my students a classroom rug that will provide a comfortable, welcoming space where all 21 of my students can gather for morning meetings, read-alouds, small-group instruction, and collaborative learning.

My Project

My students inspire me every day with their curiosity, creativity, and determination to learn. I love watching them ask thoughtful questions, encourage one another, and celebrate each other's successes. They come to school eager to grow, and they deserve a classroom that makes them feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.

A classroom rug will create a comfortable gathering space where all 21 of my students can come together for morning meetings, interactive lessons, read-alouds, and small-group discussions.

Having a dedicated learning area helps students stay engaged, build a sense of community, and participate confidently in classroom activities. This rug will support both their academic growth and their social-emotional development by giving them a welcoming place to learn, collaborate, and thrive together.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
