Ms. Floyd from Lexington KY is requesting Reading Nooks, Desks & Storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Getting Cozy in Preschool

My students need a carpet for our classroom so we can have circle time and do other activities in a comfortable environment.

My Students

As a teacher of students in low income/single-parent family homes, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. The students in my classroom are students with learning and emotional disabilities.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention.

Many are students with a range of disabilities, emotional disturbance and specific learning disability. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may deprive them of life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

We need a large area rug in our classroom for our students. This rug will brighten up our classroom and make it more inviting to the children when they arrive in the mornings.

With your generous donation we will have a more comfortable seating area during circle time.

The numbers and letters on the rug will help my students work on number and letter recognition. The bright colors will give the teachers and students time to work on color recognition as well. This carpet will be the first step in improving our classroom and providing a warmer environment for our students.
