A Cozy Spot to Grow and Learn

Help me give my students a comfy and fun spot for carpet time!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johnson's classroom raised $418

My Project

Kindergarten is a very special place. It’s a student's first experience with school. Kindergarten students are full of energy, imagination, and curiosity. They love gathering together for stories, songs, and lessons on our classroom carpet, but unfortunately, our current carpet is worn and stained from years of use. It’s no longer the warm, welcoming space they deserve.

In the kindergarten classroom, the carpet isn’t just a rug, it’s where we build community during morning meetings, learn letters and numbers, and develop social skills through group activities.

With your support, we can create a cozy and inviting space where all students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn. A colorful, durable carpet with clearly marked spots will also help with classroom management and personal space.

Thank you for helping make our classroom a more joyful and engaging place!
