My Students

Everyone can remember coming to the floor for story time in kindergarten! We spend so much of the day coming to the floor for whole group activities and discussions.

I am excited for the upcoming school year with my new group of kindergarten students!

Kindergarten is such an important grade for all students. I lay the foundation for the rest of their educational journey. I try my hardest to make sure my students have the most meaningful experience possible!

My Project

My classroom floor is all tile. There is nowhere "soft" for the students to sit. The tile is cold and hard! This is uncomfortable and distracting for my students. I do not want a cold and hard floor to take away from our group learning time. The classroom carpet will provide an organized and comfortable space for my students to sit throughout the day. The carpet I have selected has a designated spot for each student which will allow for less distractions while teaching.

We do so much every single day in kindergarten... and I would not have it any other way!

By having a classroom carpet in my class, my students would have an organized and comfy place to gather to learn. Thank you for supporting my classroom!
