A Bright, Beautiful Brand New Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a beautiful bright new rug to learn on!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jenna's classroom raised $730

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my classroom, and love creating an inviting space for my students to feel at home learning every day. The classroom is their home while at school, and I try to make it feel like a wonderful space where they can feel safe and learn wherever they look.

However, I've been in the same room for almost ten years, and it is time for a new rug!

I would love to surprise my students with a big, beautiful, bright new rug to replace our Morning Meeting rug.

I chose a navy rug with bright shapes, because it is similar to our current rug, but it is bigger and definitely a step up! I know my students will love to sit and learn every day on a comfortable, beautiful space.
