My Project

The carpet will be used to hold morning meetings where students will have the chance to welcome each other every day. Our carpet will be used for a place where we come together and read together. It will be a place for math manipulative use. It will be a place where students may go as alternative seating. It will be a great spot to add to station rotation.

I want to create a warm and welcoming enviroment that will gain the attention of all of my students.

Our classroom is a community, so when one of us succeed we all do. Your donation will help us create a learning environment where our students can thrive and reach their full potential.
