Learning Begins On Our Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a bright and new rug for our whole group activities.

My Project

The classroom rug provides individual space for students to sit comfortably on the floor.

The Rug Is Heart Of The Classroom.

The rug serves as a versatile space for various activities such as morning meetings, whole group instruction, SEL, read alouds, partner work, and more. My school can’t provide a new rug, so i’m hoping this project can help us have a clean rug, where my students will feel excited to sit, learn and grow.

Pocket charts provide visuals and a hands-on practice, making them a great tool for large and small institution in Pre-K. Please help us get our new class rug and pocket charts for extended learning activities.
