My Project

My wonderful, hard-working second-grade students will love a cozy area in which they can all sit and engage in the classroom. Our classroom values classroom community and having a rug will help us engage in building a stronger classroom community in our discussions, gatherings, and morning meetings.

These rugs will be an addition to a space that promotes comfort, community, and safety.

Our classroom is huge so these rugs will change the attention students have to one another since it will be a more personal and private setting rather than sitting in groups apart from each other. Students thrive through connections and having a space where they feel and are physically in unison will help bring those connections in a more natural way.

Also, I am asking for personal hygiene items- deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, baby wipes, and lip balm-for my students so they can be so fresh and so clean while learning!
