Mrs. Gibson Winding Springs Elementary School
Charlotte, NC Grades 3-5

I have been teaching for 11 years. Fourth grade is one of the best grades to teach. I work for a school which is low performing and in need of more community involvement. The school system I work for had to give the state back billions of dollars, so the state could close its financial gap. Guess who suffers! yes the children of our future.

I would like to receive new rugs for my students for several reasons. The rug we have in the class is very, very old. When I'm teach writing the rug is our meeting place. I have students who work best when they are sitting on the rug completing their classwork. Other students in the class like to lay on the rug and read a good book. Unfortunately, my school is presently in no position to help me out at this time. I feel if I can't meet my students needs, then I won't be able to completely do my job to my best ability. I even love to sit on the rug with my students and do small group instruction.

If I was to receive the rugs, then my students would show more improvement in their writing. Students can excel in their best comfort zone. Even with the small group instruction I can sit down with the group as I'm delivering the lesson to them.

You will make it possible for my students to have new rugs in their classroom to help them develop a sense of comfort in learning. Also, letting them know that there are people in the world that cares about them becoming tomorrow's future.
