Rug and Responsibility

Help me give my students a way to be organized on the rug and the responsibility of cleaning up after themselves at the end of the day!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fouts's classroom raised $331

My Project

The rug will significantly enhance the classroom environment by providing each student with their own clearly defined space on the rug. This organization will reduce distractions and promote a sense of personal responsibility and respect for others' space. With designated areas, students will feel more secure and comfortable, allowing them to focus better during group activities, discussions, and lessons on the rug. The carpet sweeper will allow students to be responsible for their space so they an clean up after themselves.

The primary goal is to create an organized, respectful, and welcoming space on the rug that enhances students' ability to concentrate and participate in group activities.

By providing each student with their own space, I aim to foster better classroom management, reduce conflicts over personal space, and encourage a cooperative and inclusive learning environment. Ultimately, I want to make our classroom a more effective and enjoyable place for learning and collaboration.
