A New Classroom Learning Space

Help me give my students a place to sit during our classroom meetings and a space to grow as learners out of our traditional seats.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Salzillo's classroom raised $632

My Students

We are part of a bigger school and even bigger district within a city that celebrates inclusion and all learners. Within this big district, we are a tight-knit community of fourth graders. Something I pride myself on with my classroom is creating a space where students feel safe and supported. My students work hard to support each other and challenge themselves (some of our classroom expectations they have created)!

My Project

These materials will help me create a space to teach students out of their seats. Based on research and my own teaching experience, students need to change up their learning space throughout the day to best learn! Giving students the opportunity to sit on a rug, use flexible seating and have a new spot to learn will allow them to be attentive to the curriculum and engage in their own learning. I find that most students look forward to rug time and I would love to have a space big enough to give them an opportunity to learn from the rug as well as use this space for morning meetings to continue to build our classroom environment and relationships.
