Literacy Corner Rug

Help me give my students a quality learning environment. Our literacy curriculum requires reading aloud to the students and having a rug will allow for a cozier experience that will enhance learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $650

My Project

As a first year 4th grade teacher, a classroom rug would create a comfortable and organized space for students to gather for lessons, discussions, and activities. It provides a designated area for group work, fostering collaboration and a sense of community in the classroom. A rug also helps minimize distractions, keeping students focused and engaged by offering a clear, cozy spot to sit and learn. With a rug, I can create a welcoming environment where students feel relaxed and ready to participate, which ultimately supports their learning and social development. Your generous donation would help bring this vision to life!
