Children need the "whole world under their feet!". Becoming knowledgeable about where places are in our world is necessary to help children make connections and become more globally minded. A colorful world map rug will elicit discussions and allow for discoveries to be made around the world!
My students are eager and curious first graders.
They are open-minded young people ready to discover and learn anything and everything! They attend a small public school in Michigan. Our school is small enough where everyone knows your name! It is full of dedicated parent volunteers who care about their child's education. The most exciting thing about our school is that we are in the process of applying to become an international baccalaureate school. This world map rug will strengthen our students' international mindedness.
My Project
This colorful world map rug will inspire students to learn more about the world we live in. During many of our lessons I refer to the small world map on our wall. Having a giant world map rug to sit on each day will provide my students more resources to gain knowledge about the world. At the same time, the rug will give students a cozy place to gather. The rug will give our classroom a stronger sense of community on a global level.
Donating to this project will help give students in a small school a more global perspective.
Some day these children will be the leaders of tomorrow, and it is critical that we teach children to be internationally minded by teaching young children about the world they live in! A huge world map rug will improve their knowledge about the world.
