My Project

If there is one thing my classroom is missing, it's a bright, colorful rug for reading! Making my classroom an inviting and cozy space has always been a top priority of mine. My students have various places around the room to independently read or work, but the one space that is missing is a comfy rug.

I believe that a rug for the classroom will provide students an extra space to read a book, work with a classmate, and feel at home each and every day.

When a child feels comfortable in a classroom setting, they are set up to be more successful!

Mrs. Christian will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
