My Project

I am switching grade levels this school year and I am very excited for this next adventure! When I found out I was switching grade levels, I immediately knew I needed a new rug for my future students. A rug is a perfect place for us all to be able to come together and read! This rug is large enough it would comfortably fit 20 kids. Being able to bring all of the kids together at this rug will help bring classroom community and encourage reading within our class room!
