Let’s Learn to Read and Count at Our Colorful Rug

Help me give my students a bright and colorful learning area to continue to grow and achieve.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blocker's classroom raised $679

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are bright, brilliant and eager to learn new things from Jackson, MS. They are learning new things daily and having a great experience. They love to gather on the rug to read, count and be comfortable. They will learn letters, sounds, numbers, writing, words and much more this school year. Also, they love hands on activities such as file folder games. Collaboration is important in the learning process and they enjoy it. A new bright spot for us to learn, learn, learn will be a great opportunity to grow academically and socially.

My Project

The materials would make a difference because the carpet would give us a bright and clean area to gather while being socially distance to get ready to learn. The file folder activities and books will help us collaborate and learn alphabets, counting, addition and how to read using those sight word books. The learning environment becomes engaging when students have a clean and comfortable area with the necessary tools to progress in the learning process. The supplies will give my students an opportunity to be successful and achieve great things this school year and we will truly appreciate it all!
