A Classroom To Call Home

Help me give my students a space to come together on the rug! It's where we spend a ton of time and take in countless stories and lessons! You'd also be giving us some helpful math tools.

My Project

I LOVE third grade. They are loving, sweet, and excited about school. We learn about the world we live in, the way numbers work together, and we read, read read!

In our classroom, our carpet is our main space for learning.

Not only is it where I present all of my mini-lessons, it's where we read our stories together, share our writing, process hard math problems, and play games! It's the heart of our room. As I enter my 9th year as an educator, some of the pieces I bought all of those summers ago are beginning to break down, our rug being one of them. These kiddos need a new rug to sit on while they fall in love with learning!
