The Description

With these funds I will purchase an inviting and comfy area rug where our classroom family can meet together to discuss our Writer's Workshop books we are writing, listen to teacher read alouds, and have classroom meetings where we can discuss the wonderful and positive things that are happening with our learning. We have whole class meeting time on the floor each and every day and at times it can be quite "interesting" to help every child find his/her own personal space to allow for proper attention to the lessons. With this area rug each child will have their very own "spot" to sit each day. This will definitely allow the creative juices to flow and prompt such wonderful responses and participation!!

The rug we would love to call our own is the 7'6" X 12 to place at the front of our classroom, where we meet daily. As you can see from the attached pictures, we currently have a small red carpet there.

The rug is $279 + tax. The site says "Free Shipping"! :)

Thank you so much for considering a donation for our classroom!!

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase some smaller rugs to hopefully achieve the goal of an inviting and warm space for whole class meeting time.

Thank you!

About the Creator

Welcome to our wonderful world of first grade! When you walk in our door the first thing you'll see are 22 precious smiling faces eager to begin a new day of learning! They are enthusiastic and inquisitive little people starving for all the knowledge their minds can absorb!
Our little school is served by the Title 1 program and just received an award for academic excellence. We are all very hard workers (students and teachers alike!) who realize and help to impart the importance of education. We also won the Family Friendly School Award for the inviting and nurturing environment our entire school has.
As a teacher, I couldn't be more honored to work in such an incredible place where I not only look forward to going each and every day, but where I am supported in my philosophy of teaching and encouraging the learning of the whole child.
