A Magic Carpet Ride

My students need a carpet to sit on for whole class learning and reading time.

Mrs. Chen PS 325
New York, NY Grades PreK-2

My classroom is the 7-hour/day "home" for 20 brilliant students. I teach first grade in a low-income, high need community.

Every day my students sit on a cold, hard, carpet-less floor to learn and have reading time. With budget cuts, my school is unable to provide a carpet for my classroom.

My classroom needs a new, clean, enticing, and "magical" carpet so that my students will have a comfortable and exciting learning environment.

You can help make my classroom a place where students are eager to read because of the inviting, bright carpet that awaits them. With your support, 20 students will have an enhanced learning environment that supports their learning and reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
