My Project

Having a rainbow-colored carpet with squares and a rolling organizer will make a big difference in my kindergarten classroom. The carpet provides a cozy, welcoming space where students can gather for group lessons, circle time, and literacy activities. The individual squares help each child sit in their assigned spot, which supports structure, routine, and classroom management. This visual and physical organization helps young learners stay focused and develop important social and academic habits.

My goal is to create a warm, well-organized classroom where students feel excited to learn every day.

The rolling organizer will help keep materials neat and within reach, making it easier for students to stay focused and independent during activities. With clear access to supplies, they can take more ownership of their learning, build responsibility, and stay engaged without unnecessary distractions.

My students are special because they come to school full of curiosity, energy, and a genuine eagerness to learn. For many of them, this is their first experience in a structured school environment. By providing the right tools and an inviting space, I can help set them up for a strong start in their educational journey and foster a love of learning that will stay with them for years to come.
