Our pre-k through 6 school is full of unique personalities. Creative, funny, dramatic, and mysterious, those are words to describe our students. They are also words to describe the stories they love to write and read!
Our town is a small rural town in Maine with high poverty.
It is a mill town, with great people and hard workers. Our community is more then supportive but most of the time it is just not enough and we need just that little bit more help!
My Project
With a classroom rug, my students will have a richer environment to learn in. There are many hours in the day and we do varied activities both in a group and individually. It is optimal for students to have both their desks and a rug to sit at throughout the day. Students can spread out during independent reading, work on group projects, and have rug spots to sit at during mini-lessons and whole group instruction. Students are often better able to concentrate when sitting at the rug for read alouds and Reading and Writing Workshop. A rug also offers an alternative seating arrangement for students who require varied learning environments. A classroom rug creates more space to discover, community build, play and share.
Our classroom is strongly in need of a rug so that it can be the best learning environment possible.
A rug will provide the opportunity for more in-depth teaching and learning by giving an alternative space in the classroom that students feel they can concentrate and delve into what we are learning. A place I can do Read Alouds, a place other than their desks.
