My Students

Spreading out to read a good book, working hands-on with a group member, sitting attentively for a good read aloud, listening to a mini-lesson, these are all activities that are done on a classroom rug where so much learning occurs.

Our school is 40% Latino, 15% African American, %15 White and an amazing mix of other backgrounds and cultures.

Many of our students are English Language Learners and over 75% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. We live in San Francisco, California.

My Project

With a classroom rug my students will have a richer environment to learn. There are many hours in the day and we do varied activities both in group and individual work. It is optimal for students to have both their desks and a rug to sit at throughout the day. Students can spread out during independent reading, work on group projects, and have rug spots to sit at during mini-lessons and whole group instruction. Students are often better able to concentrate when sitting at the rug for read alouds and Reading and Writing Workshop. A rug also offers alternative seating arrangement s for students require varied learning environments. A classroom rug creates more space to discover, community build, play and share.

Our classroom is strongly in need of a rug so that it can be the best learning environment possible.

A rug will provide the opportunity for more in depth teaching and learning by giving an alternative space in the classroom that students feel they can concentrate and delve into what we are learning.
