My Project

I teach Spanish at a K-8 school, and I often use music to teach different themes and vocabulary. Especially for my younger elementary school students, having a rug to sit on when they first come into their encore class can be very helpful, especially one like this one that has shapes to help them sit in their own space. I'm currently using an old rug that was passed down from other teachers, and I clean it with my own carpet cleaner to make sure its in good shape for my students. A new rug would help them know exactly where to sit, it would add color, and hopefully it can be the spot they fall in love with the Spanish language!
