My Students

My students are brilliant and energetic five and six year olds! We are a busy classroom consisting of 18 inquisitive and creative minds! My students come to school every day excited to learn.

Our classroom is a community based on values of safety, responsibility, and respect.

I instruct using a workshop model in math, phonic, reading and writing. A wonderful aspect of the workshop model is to provide the class with a group meeting area. I would to get a new rug where my class has their own spot to sit and collaborate with other students throughout the day.

Kindergarteners have a lot of energy and they need a designated safe space they can come together as a community to learn...and get the wiggles out!

My Project

A rug is not just a decoration, but a comfortable place to build our classroom community. This rug will brighten up our classroom and help create a welcoming learning environment that will last for years.

A community rug is truly the heart of the classroom.

This group time rug would help enhance the feeling of community in my classroom. Every child deserves a space to call their own. This run would give my class a place to gather when we hear stories, practice our reading, writing, phonics and math skills. It would also define our group space and help with classroom management during transitions. A group carpet is a special place where we can bond as a class. It is a place where we communicate with one another and learn valuable social skills. This community rug would be a wonderful and much need addition in our classroom! My students would gain a sense of community and friendship by using this rug!!
