My Project

I teach preschool- a large and colorful rug is a great way to start our day. It’s a place where kids feel safe and secure. This rug is nice because each child can have his or her own space to learn and explore.

This rug will be used throughout the day for math and literacy too.

It will end our day by providing students a comfortable space to recap the day, go over daily skills taught, and a place for students to share their experiences. Thank you for your time.
