My Project

Pre-K is such a fun and foundational year—it’s where children take their first big steps into the world of learning. In our classroom, students begin to form friendships, practice social skills, and learn how to be part of a classroom community. They also explore early academic concepts that set the stage for future success.

One of the most important places in our classroom is the carpet.

It’s where we come together every day for circle time, stories, songs, lessons, and laughter. It’s where we build our classroom family—sharing ideas, solving problems, and celebrating milestones side by side.

Right now, our current carpet is worn and no longer provides the warm, inviting space our young learners deserve. With your support, we can replace it with a clean, cozy, and colorful new carpet that will brighten our room and help create a safe, comfortable space for students to grow and thrive.

Please help give my students the joyful environment they need to make the most of this magical year of learning. Every gift brings us closer to a classroom where all children feel at home, engaged, and ready to learn!
