My Project

My students are a unique group of little learners. They come from diverse economic and social backgrounds. They represent the community in which our school resides. These students are very enthusiastic about learning independently and collaboratively.

The classroom rug is the centerpiece of our classroom where learning and friendships develop.

My goals for my students are to be able to sit comfortably together and enjoy our new books and build a life long love for reading. Having the opportunity to get up from sitting at our desk's and transitioning to our new rug will be a real treat!
