A New Place to Create!

Help me give my students a rug, pencils, and paper so they may succeed. Each day they are writing more, and we need more supplies. Our rugs are ripped and torn, a new rug will help promote writing.

My Project

Our students are quite fond of alternative seating. Seating at desks doesn't allow their creative juices to flow. We were recently asked to remove the current rug we have from our room and get a new one. It's becoming a bit of a hazard. The students will be able to sit comfortably and relax in a new cozy spot to work on their writing.

My goal for the other supplies is to get pencils and paper into the hands of my students.

As a Title I school, parents often lack the resources needed for their students, like pencils and paper. This responsibility falls back on the teacher all too often. Helping with this project means students can work more efficiently and effectively.
