Comfy Carpet for Our Community

My students need a comfortable rug to come together for whole group activities like stories, songs, and community circle.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kinzel's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

My Students

We start each morning together on the carpet. Students come in excited about their day, eager to share with each other. Imagine starting your day on an old rug instead of a beautifully colored carpet with room for everyone.

My students are Kindergarten and first grade students in a next generation learning community.

We have a focus on learning through inquiry topics, as well as providing students with engaging questions to understand the bigger picture. Our school has a focus on multiage classes working together in next generation learning communities.

My Project

My students need a new carpet for a comfortable place to gather to share, learn, and collaborate. The carpet will give students a soft place to learn and explore. Students can use blocks and math manipulatives and more on the carpet. This carpet will also be a great anchor to the reading corner, where they enjoy reading with friends.

This classroom carpet would improve our classroom by adding color and organization, as well as a cleaner place to sit and learn.

The children would enjoy the comfortable seating, as well! A clean, new carpet in a soothing gray color will bring a home-like feel to our classroom.
