Getting Comfy and Cozy on the Carpet

Help me give my students a carpet to transform our classroom into a welcoming and comfortable environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Metz's classroom raised $439

My Project

This carpet will transform our classroom into an inviting and welcoming place. It will enhance our learning environment by having a space for students to comfortably gather for read-alouds, group discussions, math talks, and partner work. Students will each have their own designated spot, ensuring they feel part of the group.

By donating to this project, you are helping a first-year teacher create a special place in the classroom where students can share stories and learn from one another.

As a brand new teacher starting from scratch, my goal is to create a classroom environment where students enjoy coming each day. The addition of a carpet will create a warm and welcoming area for students to gather. I am excited to share this space with my first group of students.

Although I have not met my students yet, they are already so special to me. Our classroom will bring together students from different backgrounds and cultures. This project is more than just a carpet; it is about fostering community and providing a space where my students can grow. Your donation will make a meaningful impact on the lives of my future students. We are thankful for your support!
