My Project

Into the Sea Stow N Go Carpet Rounds will allow my students to learn about ocean creatures while giving them a chance to pick where they want to sit when we meet at the new classroom carpet. I can see their bright smiles as they get to make their choices. I've selected an ocean-themed rug for the quiet, cozy area which will also serve as the library.

My students are energetic, curious little learners.

I love using calming colors to help little bodies stay calm while they also explore and discover what fun things there are around the classroom.
