This teacher needs your help!

Comfy & Cozy

Help me give my students a nice soft place to sit and learn. The squares will help them to stay in their own space and not disturb those around them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Manchester's classroom raised $724

My Project

The rug in my classroom is old and worn. I have had it for several years. It is not very comfortable. My students are often wiggling around to get comfortable.

The new rug will help provide a space for each child that they have a soft place to sit.

The different squares will also be used for math to teach concepts. It will help me to teach them about personal space. It will also provide a cozy spot for them to read.

This rug comes with a ten year warranty that will make it last for awhile.
