My Students

My students would absolutely love their own personal spacious space to sit during whole group teaching time. Having a new, spacious, colorful carpet will brighten our classroom and every student will want to participate on the learning carpet!

I have 19 wonderful students who are always willing to learn.

They love reading and learning new things. They get very excited when we have a new project. They love reading center time and work really hard. They have great potential! The students attend a K-3 Title One school.

My Project

My first grade students would benefit greatly in our classroom from a brightly colored, organized carpet. This would allow all students to have a special spot when coming to the carpet for small group lesson, whole group time, and story time. By having a large classroom carpet, students will be able to have their own personal space.

Your donation will make a difference in my classroom for many many years to come.

This carpet is flexible and durable and will last a long time. Thank you in advance for your donation to our classroom learning environment!
