My Students
Our students are inquisitive, loving and excited about learning. They enjoy learning from each other and through hands-on activities.
Since we are an early childhood school, much of our focus is on social emotional learning and learning through play.
Our magnet school attracts children from all parts of our city with 90% coming from low-income families.
We love learning about one another and sharing our experiences as we build our classroom community.
My Project
Our classroom recently had carpeting removed and was replaced with tile. This took away their soft place to sit and the ability to use our Velcro sit spots, which helped them know where to sit during large group time.
We gathered on the carpet several times daily for morning meetings, story time, lessons and center activities.
We would like to have a big rug for a softer place to sit and to help with getting our meetings, lessons and story time started promptly.
The design of the rug gives each student an individualized spot plus additional room, if needed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
