Help me give my students a warm, welcoming space to meet at during our whole group lessons. I want to make it inviting and a space they look forward to coming to learn. We currently have no rug.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Madera's classroom raised $206
This project is fully funded
My Project
This rug would create a learning environment that feels welcoming and warm. We do all of our lessons starting on the carpet and then break off into groups.
We currently do not have a rug, as my classroom was newly opened just a few weeks ago to create smaller classes amongst a large 5th grade group.
This rug would foster a sense of home for my students and my goal is to create a safe space that feels like their home. My students have had a huge transition mid-year switching into my newly formed classroom so giving them a feeling of comfort is huge focus for me.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
