During the school day, we will have circle time activities, mini lessons, and whole group instruction. I chose the literacy rug because my students need to feel comfortable while sitting on the rug for 15-20 minutes sessions but I also want to expose them to a print rich environment. I want them to learn colors, shapes, basic counting skills and have alphabet knowledge. I believe the literacy rug will give my students a fun-filled way to learn, enjoy the comfort of sitting on a cozy rug and stay focused during activities. Some of my students are new to the classroom setting. Therefore, I want them to develop a love for reading which will lead to future academic success in reading, writing and math. Books are another way to engage them in meaningful experiences of learning about people, different cultures and our amazing world. Also, most of my students are learning English as a second language and I believe having books they can listen to will enhance their speaking, reading and listening skills. Donations to this project will provide an essential tool in helping my students access key kindergarten academic skills and also giving them a comfortable environment to focus on learning. This project will enhance my students' lives by supporting their young minds and bodies during the critical early years of development.
