Carpet Diem: Seize the Seat!

Help me give my students a classroom carpet for flexible seating, white boards for interactive learning and pencils- because our class goes through them like snacks!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arpa's classroom raised $400

This project is fully funded

My Project

A classroom carpet will help to create an area where my students can learn, collaborate, and engage in lessons beyond the traditional chair and desk set up. In addition, whiteboards will allow students to interact more directly with their learning. From solving math problems to brainstorming ideas, these tools give them the freedom to express their thinking in real time, build confidence and work collaboratively. Together, these items will help to transform our classroom into a more dynamic student- centered learning environment! Any donation will be greatly appreciated by my students and I for years to come!
