Please Help Fund Our Room With a New Rug

Help me give my students a new classroom rug! Our old rug had to be thrown out due to being old and worn out. My kiddos and I utilize our rug for whole group discussions and for comfort!

My Project

My students are beautiful collaborators who love to sit all over the classroom. I do not make my students sit at a desk to complete tasks or group work. They are permitted to sit on the carpet and any other flex seating choices that I have. By giving them a classroom rug, the students can feel more comfortable, and it will give them a more spacious and welcoming environment.

Currently, my kiddos do not have a classroom rug due to the old one needing to be thrown out.

I am hoping to give them an inclusive and cozy room that accommodates their need and desires to sit where they like. The rug will allow us to enhance our sense of community and closeness.
