A Soft Step Forward: Seeking a new Rug Donation

Help me give my students a better rug that’s easier to keep clean and in much better shape!

My Project

Being a kindergarten teacher involves lots of engaging activities and we use our classroom rug all throughout our day to accomplish that! Utilizing the rug in our classroom is essential in sharing ideas as a small group, with a partner, and whole class instruction.

With your donation towards this purchase, we will have a great area to interact and work as a class on developing those skills that will strengthen our academic growth in the areas of social emotional, math, reading, and writing!

Your help is appreciated and will benefit the needs of the cutest little 5 and 6 year olds you will ever meet!
