Clean Seating for Projects in Gifted Classroom

Help me give my students rugs to provide clean, comfortable, and safe seating during projects, whole-group time, and partner activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. LaFoy's classroom raised $637

My Project

My students love to have free seating choice on the floor to work on projects and activities whether it is with a partner, group, or individual work. Currently, we do not have a large rug where students can sit during whole-group instruction. I love to bring my students closer to the board during whole-group lessons and activities to keep them actively-engaged in the lesson. We need a rug that is large and allows for many seating options throughout the room. We also need a rug near our centers to allow more options for seating during this time.
