A Special Spot for BIG Kindergarten Hearts

Help me give my students a new rug that will transform our kindergarten classroom into a warm, structured, and inclusive space where students can gather, connect, and confidently engage in every part of their learning journey.

My Project

Our kindergarten classroom is a vibrant space filled with curiosity, creativity, and care. Each day, we come together as a class for every part of our learning—whether it's morning meetings, read-alouds, partner work, or reflection time. A new rug would completely transform our space by giving our young learners a soft, defined, and welcoming place to come together. It would help create structure and community, making it easier for children to know where to sit, focus, and feel secure.

It's more than just a rug - its where routines flow, teamwork grows, and young minds stay engaged.

For many children, especially those who benefit from clear boundaries and sensory support, having a cozy, designated space to sit helps them feel confident and ready to learn. Our classroom is built on kindness, connection, and belonging—and a new rug will give us the physical space to make that happen every day. With your support, we can build a learning environment that truly feels like home!
