My Project

My students would love a more comfortable place to lay and sit to read their books. This rug is the perfect amount of black with color so it is not over stimulating! While they are reading it would be amazing to have better organized school supplies. We have community style supplies that are a disaster of a mixture and it would be nice to have it organized. It would also give me a better inventory of what I have and what I need for my classroom. My fabulous first graders would greatly appreciate it all!
