My Project

Adding a rug to my classroom will make learning both fun and flexible. A rug will provide a place for my kiddos to sit and work, or grab a book and read. It's amazing how a colorful rug invites students to get out of their seats and focus on their work in a way that a stuffy desk does not.

Colorful rugs make a classroom inviting to look at and fun to spend time in.

This makes students excited about being in the room, and in turn, excited about the learning that takes place inside. Just as we use rugs in houses to make them comfy homes, we use rugs in classrooms to make them warm and inviting.
