My students need a Learning Shapes & Colors Activity Carpet to help provide a safe, organized, comfortable, and educational space to sit for "carpet time".

I am starting a new year in a new school where my budget and resources are limited.
Where I will be spending the bulk of my funds on the basics of paper and drawing and painting medium for my artists to use in their art learning and making; I also believe my artists deserve an inviting, safe, and comfortable classroom to learn in.
My artists are K-5 students with wonderfully diverse backgrounds. They are energetic, inspiring, and eager learners. I believe in each and every one of my students and I am overjoyed to be teaching these student artists. Thank you for considering my project.
My Project
My project is to do my part to help fulfill the school motto which is to "Increase Learning for All"! The Learning Shapes & Colors Activity Carpet...while it is an obvious bright classroom accent, will more importantly offer a multitude of daily learning opportunities, as well as aid in classroom management. I have not only seen it in other art rooms, but used it as well. It helps center students while teaching moments are happening. It is a "magic" learning tool that all art teachers should have. It offers students a concrete way to learn about elements of shape and color, as well as guides them in personal space and boundaries aiding in respect and listening skills.
My students need and deserve an organized and managed classroom to ensure their academic and behavioral success.
The Learning Shapes & Colors Activity Carpet will help provide a safe, organized, comfortable, and educational space to sit for "carpet time". This can include start of the class instruction, new lesson introduction, smart board instruction, reviewing a book, student art critiques, student artist shares, and the list goes on!
