Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a comfortable, cozy spot to spread out and work on the floor. I’m hoping to fund this rug to allow students to collaborate together and stay comfy!

My Project

Being able to work in a spot that is comfortable is essential to student learning. Moving up to 5th grade this year, I really want to give my students a place to work comfortably, whether individually, with a partner, or in small groups. Having a cozy rug will provide them with room to spread out when they are reading, writing, or creating larger projects such as posters, that demonstrate their learning. Many of my students benefit from working at places other than a chair and table, as it gives them a chance to move around and find a place where they can do their best work. Any support you can provide will be immensely appreciated!
