My Students

My students are enthusiastic children who strive to do well each and every day. They walk into our classroom every morning; eager to learn new things and share the many things they are excited to learn and experience. My diverse class of students cannot seem to read enough! I want to encourage a life long love of reading by providing a great spot in the room for my students to be able to explore all the wonderful books in our library.

My Project

We are requesting a rug for our classroom to use during our story time, calendar, and whole group lessons. My students need a cozy carpet to invite them to learn. We spend most of our day on the floor and my students would love to have a comfy space of their own while they take on the learning challenges of first grade.

Having this classroom rug will allow my students to stay focused on their learning instead of worrying about where and what they are sitting on.

A carpet with clearly delineated seating areas will help my first grade students know where to sit so that they can focus best on the lessons and activities. Having this carpet in our classroom will save invaluable time, as energy can be focused into the lesson rather than into directing and redirecting students on where they should sit.
