Colorful Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a comfy place to sit! My kindergarteners love sitting up front, listening to stories, playing games, and learning in a whole group setting.

My Project

This rug will be used daily by 20 kindergarten students. They sit up front during whole group instruction and having a comfortable place to sit on their own leaf would help keep them stay focused and engaged.

My current classroom rug is several years old and in need of replacement!

My students use the rug to sit on while listening to stories, playing math games, reading books, and working cooperatively with one another.

Having a comfy and cozy spot in a kindergarten classroom is incredibly important. This is a child's first time in school and I hope to create a positive, loving and colorful classroom environment for each of my students!
