My Project

My students love to sit in a group to do whole group learning. I like to sit in front of my students while we are learning. A new rug would be wonderful. Whole group teaching is how I begin my day with each group of students. They come to the rug to listen to the story and review spelling and grammar skills.

I had to throw out my old rug.

It was worn out and hard to clean after years of use. Please help me get a new rug for my students.
