My Project

I strive to make my classroom a place my students want to be. The rugs I am requesting will enable my students to learn in a warm inviting environment. Students from all back grounds deserve to go to school in a nice, inviting classroom. It is hard for 2nd graders to stay in their desks all day long. The rugs will also encourage freedom of movement. My students come from low income backgrounds and deserve to learn in a safe, clean, cozy classroom. Please help me make my classroom a nice place to learn!
