My Project

Coming together and learning is the best part of the day.

Carpet time in first grade is a must!

Students love coming to the rug and listening to a good book, reading independently, or playing a game. This will be a great spot to come together for our daily morning meeting and calendar.

My goal for this project is to give my new students a fresh new rug free of stains and years of wear and tear. I just know they would be thrilled to have a bright new rug on the first day while they meet me and their new classmates!
