My Project

My students are in need of a new rug for the start of the school year. The rug will be used for story time and block play.

Circle time is an important time of day for preschool children.

It is a safe place to gather as a community to have discussions and read stories. Having a rug is vital for this. Block area and circle time are done in the same spot so the children will also have a nice soft place to build.

My students will be so happy to see this new rug.
