Lots of Dots Rug for My 2nd Grade Class

My students need one "Lots of Dots" seating rug.

Please help light up the eyes of my little ones. I teach at a Pre-K to 12th grade school in a rural community. I teach all subjects to my 2nd grade students in a portable classroom outside of the building. The school is in a high needs community and we are very limited on classroom resources.

All students deserve equal opportunities for education and should be given organized; well equipped classrooms to learn in. We are very limited on supplies and are rarely able to buy larger priced items to keep our rooms neat, clean, and fun for the students. The students in my class love doing "whole group" lessons on our reading carpet and they also love to use it for free reading time. However; the rug we currently have is way too small for all of the students to fit on. The students in my classroom love to learn and they deserve a nice comfortable spot to sit on to help them relax during lessons and while they are reading.

I need one large "Lots of Dots" seating rug for my students to have a place to sit when they are learning as a whole group and during free reading. I will place it near our book tubs and reading buddies.

You can be the one who makes it possible for my students to sit in comfort as they learn and read every day at school. It's a wonderful thing to see a 7 year old get excited about reading!
