Seating for Reading

Help me give my students a place to sit, during whole group instruction. This rug will ensure that each student has their own space, so they can focus on the learning target.

My Project

My First Graders need a collaborative space for whole group learning. Throughout our lessons, students will work in small groups, large groups, and independently. Having the flexibility to sit on the floor, at times, allows them to move to different areas in the classroom, instead of sitting at tables all day.

Little Learners need to move!

Having floor space gives them the ability come together and also spread out, depending on the activity. Your donation will truly impact my students in a positive way. A classroom rug will make our space inclusive for types of learners.
