Mr. Lackey's Big Ticket Items

Help me give my students a place to learn new skills through the rug that is above. To make it more creative the anchor chart papers, card stock and pencils will help with that.

My Project

My students learn so much better somewhere else besides their desk. The rug will accommodate to their needs the most. Education is not about sitting at their seats anymore so the rug will give them another space to learn and grow as a student. I could see my students growing tremendously this year just based on a location change in the room. I look to have my room to be a safe space and where students will flourish.

Teaching today looks very different to where a different location change and doing something out of nowhere is what students appreciate the most.

The anchor chart, card stock and pencils will suffice that need for the students as we do some creative activities to make it engaging for students. I love the process of doing fun activities and the card stock will allow that. Thank you so much for the help!
