Many of my 1st graders come from homes that struggle financially. That doesn't slow us down. Obstacles are made to be defeated. We came to school this year excited to be here and ready to work.
My Rocketeers have a "can do" attitude and a willingness to take risks, and that lets me know that we are going to go far this year no matter the obstacles in our path.
We are a team that will win or lose together, but we will WIN!
My Project
This project is a continuation of my last project. Although my project was fully funded, the rug that I had picked out was unavailable to purchase. Because I had picked out a very inexpensive rug, I simply couldn't find a rug the same size within the price range. The rug I've chosen this time is more expensive, but it is in a price range that will allow me to replace it should it become unavailable after funding is secured.
The class rug is where we unite to begin our day, give well-wishes to classmates who have problems and connect as a class family.
It is also where most of our whole-group learning takes place because it is so much more intimate. A class rug is extremely important in a 1st grade class and we really need one. Your donation will help provide a place for us learn and connect.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
