My Students

Do you remember your first learning experience in a classroom? My kids are so excited to learn and try new things everyday. We are very cramped on our old carpet and it's very dull. We would be able to spread out and work together on our new carpet.

My kids are all from military families on a base in Texas.

Their ages are 4 and 5 and are full of joy and excitement for learning! I have an average class of 23 at all times. Due to being military, numbers go up and down throughout the year but not by much. The greatest thing about working with military children is the diversity in each child. Although each child in my class is different from one another, one thing is the same, they come to school with an open mind to learning.

My Project

The carpet we are asking for is an ABC carpet so we will be able to explore and study the alphabet and shapes around us. Group learning and together time is very important and we will be able to do more of this with a new carpet. We are currently so cramped on our old one and learning is limited.

What better way to support our troops than to support their children in education.

You will really help our kiddos to grown and learn in an educational environment. My classroom is always full of love and laughter and I know the kids would be so excited to receive the carpet that we have been hoping for.
