Help me give my students a FlexSpace carpet for a colorful place to meet as a class to engage in team building, social emotional learning and interacting with their classmates.
We are a tight-knit neighborhood school with an amazing group of eager learners. Our learners form a diverse group of students with a variety of nationalities and academic needs and over 20 different languages spoken. We are a Title I school where both the staff and students take pride in our diversity. We are a school focused on problem solving, social and emotional learning, as well as furthering their learning in reading and math.
We are a classroom full of children ready to be challenged with new ideas, investigative thinking, and problem solving.
In order to be successful, my students need various tools and resources to reach the world beyond our walls, as well as to focus on the learning taking place in the room. As their teacher, I am focused on providing each student the opportunity to be successful, feel safe in their school environment, empower them to be proud of who they are, as well as helping each of them reach their highest potential.
My Project
Reading a book to my students is my favorite part of any school day. In order to share the picture book students need to come close to see the pictures. Having a carpet to gather at helps to make this space a special one for our classroom.
Gathering at the carpet is the best place to build relationships with students!
Students will also be able to use the space to meet to play games, for me to gather small groups for instruction, as well as add color and brightness to our classroom. A colorful carpet helps to create a zone for learning and gathering that the students come to look to for engagement with their classmates.
