Cutting a Rug

My students need a large rug as a place to learn and grow.

My Students

In my classroom, the students are always creating, using their imagination, and practicing working with all different types of materials!

My students are curious, creative, and funny.

One of the things I love about my students is that they are always eager for knowledge. They are story tellers and imagineers. We have about 400 students in our school and I am lucky I get to know each and everyone of them.

My Project

I read a lot to my students and do multiple smart board activities, but my rugs are too small for all of them to sit down on it. With a larger rug they will not be so crowded and can hear the story or do the smart board activity. Also, this allows for a place for students to sketch, which gives them a different vantage point than their tables.

With these donations it will help students have a bigger space and a space to allow learning.

Students will not be as crowded and can learn from the stories that are read and the smart board activities.
