My Project

I have 23 students in my classroom currently and my numbers continue to grow every year!

I try to move my students around the classroom as much as I can so they’re not sitting in one spot too long!

We typically do large group in the front of our classroom and the floors are tile and hard!

Carpets/rugs are so expensive nowadays! It’s hard to afford them on a teacher salary! We would greatly love a spot for them to sit and be comfortable when doing so! That is why we would love to add a rug to our classroom!
