Snug Like a Bug in a Rug!

Help me give my students materials to foster a a calming and comforting classroom space.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Goutos's classroom raised $942

My Project

Our growing first grade students will benefit from a larger meeting area rug! They are growing and require more space on the rug to be comfy and cozy. The meeting area rug will serve as the heart of our classroom. It will provide a more comfortable space for our students to gather for instruction, group activities, story-time, and collaborative learning.

This larger rug will help make our classroom more comfortable for our growing students!

Students will also benefit from the pocket chart visuals, which create a colorful and organized way of presenting materials. The students will thrive with clear areas for focused learning and interaction!

Your donation will directly impact the lives of our first graders, providing them with the resources they need to succeed. Together, we can foster a comforting, organized, and engaging classroom community for our students.
