My Project

My students need a place to sit while learning and reading on the floor. We are requesting an area rug. This area rug will give a designated spot for all students to sit and remain while learning. My students all have special needs and learn in a self contained classroom. Our school is a Title 1 school where all students qualify for free and reduced lunch. This area rug will give our classroom purposeful learning environments that encourage the love of learning and reading. Thank you for supporting our classroom.
