My Students
My students come to school everyday full of excitement and are ready to learn. That is why I am asking for a classroom rug. It will be used for whole group class meetings, small group learning, math stations, and reading stations. The students learn by interacting with their peers, problem-solving, and sharing. A big part of running a collaborative classroom is having the tools and space to keep the collaboration going.
I work in a community at a Title I school with 52% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
The clientele comes with a lot of different family cultures. The school staff is always learning new strategies and techniques to increase student achievement. My hope is that student engagement will be increased in a comfortable learning environment where they can feel at home and valued for what they can offer.
My Project
With a classroom rug, my students will have a richer environment to learn. There are many hours in the day and we do varied activities both in a group and individual work. It is optimal for students to have both their desks and a rug to sit throughout the day.
Students can spread out during independent reading, work on group projects, and have rug spots to sit at during mini-lessons and whole group instruction.
They will be using the rug mostly as a spot to collaborate and have class meetings. Students are often better able to concentrate when sitting at the rug for a read-aloud and Reading, Math and Writing Workshop.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
