My Students

All students love to curl up and read a good book in a cozy part of their classroom. Our old carpet is so dirty, dusty, and disgusting. Replacing it with a new one would be a wonderful way to brighten our classroom!

Our class is a wonderful group of children who have a love for learning.

We have a passionate group of readers this year. I have never seen so many children begging to read! We have readers of all levels who are longing to curl up with a good book.

My Project

The new carpet we are asking for is also a giant calendar! It will be such a fun way to dress up our classroom while providing a cozy place to sit and read a good book. We have a great collection of books in our classroom library, but having a comfy place to read them would be terrific!

Using this carpet/calendar will provide students with the opportunity to really grasp the concept of days, weeks, and months.

It will be a fun and colorful addition to our classroom!
