Help Me Give My Future Students a Classroom Rug!

Help me give my students a new classroom rug! As a first-year Kindergarten teacher, I'm creating a welcoming space for learning, stories, and community. Any support will help provide a special gathering place for my students. Thank you!

My Project

I am so excited to meet my first class of Kindergarten students this fall! Kindergarten is such a special year filled with curiosity, growth, and a love of learning. I love how young students bring enthusiasm, creativity, and excitement to everything they do.

A classroom rug will be one of the most important resources in our room.

It will serve as our gathering place for morning meetings, read-alouds, class discussions, and collaborative learning activities. Having a designated space where students can come together will help build a strong classroom community while creating a comfortable environment for learning. This rug will support engagement, encourage participation, and provide a welcoming space where every child feels like they belong.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
