Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a classroom rug that will help them feel safe, loved, and secure in their environment. A classroom rug is more than just decor, it’s a foundation for community and learning.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Imagine a classroom where every student feels safe, loved, and secure. A place where they can gather for story time, discussions, and moments of connection. A classroom rug is more than just decor, it’s a foundation for community and learning.

In my classroom, students come from diverse backgrounds, and creating a warm, welcoming environment is essential for their success.

A comfortable rug will provide a space where they can sit together, share ideas, and learn in a nurturing setting. Whether we're exploring new stories, engaging in group activities, or simply taking a mindful moment. This rug will foster a sense of belonging.

Your generosity can help make this vision a reality! Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to providing a supportive and engaging space for our students. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your kindness makes all the difference!
