Academic Area Rug Needed

My students need an academic area rug for math activities, read alouds, and independent reading time.

My Students

Reading is an adventure students can take right in the classroom. Having a comfortable area to explore books and take these adventures is essential for students.

We are a school in Pennsylvania where the staff strives to establish a happy and nurturing environment that both promotes and cultivates a positive learning experience for our children.

Our students are energetic about learning and exploring new things.

My Project

Using the academic area rug, students will be able to have a comfortable place to enjoy new and exciting learning experiences. Students will be able to sit comfortably with one another during read alouds, being able to explore various types of books and stories. We will also have a place to complete whole group math activities in a cozy spot. This will be an excellent way to motivate students in the activity being explained since they will be so close to the action! They will also have a spot in the room where they know they can relax and enjoy a book, either reading independently or with another student. Encouraging students to read is an excellent way to improve their fluency!

Being able to provide a cozy area in a room, that will foster and encourage a love for learning, is a priceless gift to provide students with.

The area rug you are providing is something students will be able to enjoy every day of the school year.
