My Project

All too often classrooms have a cold, clinical feel to them. Students are expected to spend a vast majority of their learning time in a space that is institutional with cold tile floors and fluorescent lighting. I’m working to eliminate that feeling in my classroom. My first step is to introduce a set of colorful, comfortable rugs.

Classroom rugs have the added benefit of making a classroom look and *feel* warmer.

It is my desire to have every student walk into my classroom and immediately feel welcome and comfortable - good rugs can help accomplish this goal.

Students notice differences in classrooms and appreciate personal touches in their learning environment. It is my hope that creating a welcoming and warm learning environment will lead to improved student behaviors and increased learning gains.

Providing classroom rugs will be the first step that I will take in transforming my classroom and the learning environment for my students.
