My Project

My students love coming to the carpet for whole group learning! However, they do not like how uncomfortable it is to sit on the floor. Having a comfortable classroom rug that’s big enough to fit all of my students will keep them engaged longer!

I use a flip chart to begin the key notes in our lesson.

It is very difficult to use my chart because I have to hold it or have a student help me hold it while trying to flip to the next page. My students lose focus waiting. Utilizing a pocket chart stand would be more ideal during carpet time! I’d be able to point to key words and ideas or flip pages effortlessly during my lesson!

Also students in the back have a difficult time hearing me. The voice amplifier would eliminate that problem while improving student focus and learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
