Community Carpet for our Classroom Community

Help me give my students a community space where they know they belong!

My Project

I am asking for a classroom carpet for our 4th grade classroom that will assist my students with knowing where their spot is located. My students this year are a lively bunch and would benefit greatly from a carpet with spots for each person.

The carpet is where we spend most of our time learning as a group.

We have our class meetings there, we do our lessons there, it's where we build community!! Currently, we have a very small area with no defined parameters for students to know where their spot it. With the addition of this carpet students would know clearly where their spot is and be able to go to it quickly!
