Help me give my students a rug that is safe and fun to learn on!

My Project

I am going into my fourth year of teaching. I teach at a Title I school, which means we have a high percentage of low-income students. With that said, that doesn’t stop me from giving my students everything they need to be successful when they come in my classroom. I pride myself in providing a loving family oriented learning environment. Unfortunately, I have a very old, used, duct-taped rug in my room currently and would love to give my students a safer, more fun rug to learn on.
