My Students

I have been blessed with a wonderful group of students this year. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. I provide my students with a positive learning environment. My students love carpet time and enjoy a wide variety of hands-on STEM activities that are not always keeping them at their desks.

My Project

The floors in our classroom were recently changed from carpet to laminate flooring. My Kindergarten students love carpet time and flexible seating.

Having a carpet in the classroom would allow the students to have that flexible seating and continue to allow for circle time and free play on a more comfortable surface.

This carpet's circular dots will also allow for structure and spacing of the students during whole group instruction to optimize and maintain their learning environment. Imagine when you were growing up, sitting and listening to your favorite story during carpet or circle time. This carpet will provide my students with those wonderful memories!
