My Project

I am looking to get a rug for my students to allow them a space for collaborating and working together in comfort.

One of our favorite parts of our day is our class read aloud.

With a rug in our room our read aloud will be brought to the next level. It will allow us to be all together and focused rather than uncomfortable in our chairs.

Student seating often provides a challenge for students in the back of the room being unable to see. With a rug we will be able to get up close to the board whenever needed! I am also including some supplies to peek student creativity including crayons and other goodies for them.

I am really looking forward to providing my students with an opportunity to work together on our brand new carpet!

Ms. Meurer
Grades 3-5
