My Project

A classroom rug is an important learning space in the classroom. The classroom rug is really the center of a classroom for young learners. Most of our learning will take place on the classroom rug. This is my first year in 1st grade at this school and I would like to have a new rug for my students to enjoy while reading or writing. Rug time supports learners' academic and social-emotional skills. On the classroom rug, students will start and end their day at the rug. This rug will provide a welcoming environment for current and future students. This rug will provide a happy and safe place for all my students.
