My Project
Our fourth-grade classroom is a place where students come together to build community, grow as readers, and engage in meaningful discussions. As we set up our new classroom, we're working to create a welcoming and comfortable environment that supports both academic and social growth.
For this project, we are requesting one large rug to serve as a central gathering space in our classroom.
This cozy area will be used for read-alouds, partner reading, and whole-group lessons. It will also provide a comfortable place for students to relax with a good book and connect with classmates during collaborative activities.
Having a dedicated space for gathering and reading will make our classroom feel more like home—a space where students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Your support will help create a warm, inviting environment where students can thrive.
