My Project

Our classroom is in need of a large carpet for whole group instruction. This will make an enormous impact on student learning and help bring the class closer together. Students will be closer to the board when they sit at our carpet. We will be able to enjoy class meetings and learning opportunities on the floor, with students much more comfortable on a new, clean carpet!

Student learning will be improved by providing a safe, fun, and comfortable atmosphere.

The children love our time on the floor, and this carpet will ensure that they are within proximity to each other and the teacher, the board, and learning in a cozy environment. Since our school is ripping up our current floor of carpet and replacing it with tile, a comfortable spot for whole-group learning will be essential. Learning experiences will be more meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable!
