It was great to see the bright happy faces of my new students and their families entering the classroom for the first time at Open House. The new rug made my classroom feel so eventing and fresh! The green pops and tied the whole space together.\r\n\r\nThis rug is the center of our classroom and learning. Students are able to comfortably play, create, and work together. School has now been going for a few weeks and it has already hosted many morning meeting games of silent ball, hot potato, and more. It was our audience for student designed puppet shows and in a few weeks we will stage for our first family event, Readers Theater. Where the second graders will act out various fairy tales.\r\n\r\nThank you everyone who helped donate. The support was overwhelming and we were able to raise the funds needed within days!
