Help Us Start Strong: A Cozy Rug for Curious Minds!

Help me give my students a new class rug! I want a new classroom rug to create a welcoming, organized space that supports learning, builds community, encourages focus, and brings comfort, color, and joy to my first graders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pouncy's classroom raised $450

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

What I love most about our students is their energy, curiosity, and the joy they bring into the school/classrooms each day. They are eager to learn, full of questions, and always ready to explore the world around them. Each one of them has a unique spark, and it’s my goal to create an environment where that spark can grow into confidence, creativity, and a love of learning.

Resources like a classroom rug might seem small, but they make a big difference in their day-to-day experience.

A rug gives us a shared space—a place to gather for stories, discussions, and lessons. It helps my students feel grounded and gives them a sense of belonging and routine. It encourages focus, supports positive behavior, and makes learning feel just a little more special. It’s where we build our classroom community, one story, one conversation, and one laugh at a time.

With the right tools and a cozy, organized space, my students thrive. Every resource we add to our room helps me give them the best possible start to their educational journey.
