My students need a comfortable and clean place to sit on the floor. We are currently sitting on the tile during our whole group lessons.

My Students
My students are hard working third graders from a low income, rural area. They all have their own individual and unique personalities, but come together to create a family dynamic within my classroom. My students come to school each day with a smile on their faces.
They are smart, adventurous, and eager to learn.
Our school is located in rural Arizona. Due to this, we often lack classroom funding, which means my students often must go without. These students deserve more.
My Project
Throughout this year we have often gathered at our meeting spot on the floor to do group reading, lessons and projects. Due to the lack of funding, my students have had to sit on the hard, cold tile.
It has become customary for me to ask them to join me, "on the imaginary rug." This makes it difficult for them to pay attention, concentrate and learn as they are constantly shifting their bodies on the cold tile.
It also doesn't provide them boundaries for a sitting location, as there are no boarders to our imaginary rug.
Providing a place for them to go sit and learn would drastically improve quality carpet time within my classroom.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
