Please allow us to ride on a magic carpet into a world of learning! I am a second grade special education teacher in a high-need community in New York. I teach in an inclusion classroom with some general education and some special education learners.

Would you be able to learn sitting on a hard, cold floor? My students need a carpet for our classroom meeting area. The students are very uncomfortable sitting on the bare floor. A carpet would provide them with a comfortable space to enjoy learning.

We need a carpet that provides each child with their own space and boundaries. The students will be assigned to specific spot on the carpet to ensure that they are not distracting one another. This will help the students focus and pay attention during lessons. This will allow me to spend less time redirecting the students and more time teaching them.

Your help will ensure that my students learn the most that they possibly can. We desperately need a carpet for our classroom meeting area. Please help us!
