ABC There's a Space for Me!

Help me give my students an Alphabet Activity Carpet for our classroom meeting area.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kniel's classroom raised $788

My Project

I want to create a warm, cozy environment for my students to enjoy storytime and classroom meeting times. My students will always know where to sit, have enough personal space and feel included in our daily activities.

Engaging young children and keeping their minds focused can be difficult.

A classroom rug will help create a space where my students know this is where we come to learn and have fun.

This rug will ensure that each child has their own personal space to listen and engage in learning. As an added bonus, the alphabet on this carpet will help students learn letters and letter sounds!
