I am a teacher in the Albany City School District. It is an urban school district. I teach 20 third graders. I would like to use a carpet in my classroom to make the room cozier. I would also use it to gather students for small group activities. Every day I read aloud to the students. Having a rug would provide a comfortable gathering space for this activity. Often it is much easier to have the students sitting closer to me to help keep their attention and keep them better focused. A rug would also provide a space for students to go and work together on their work. I would greatly appreciate any consideration you may give to this proposal.
