My Project

Each day the children have meeting time and story time and they sit on a carpet all together. This carpet is old and has spots on it. Many children do not like to sit on it because they say it is dirty. I explained to them that it is vacuumed daily.They feel uncomfortable sitting on it. I want the children to want to sit with u and ever one feel safe. Thank you for taking the time to read our proposal. The children are excited to hopefully get a new carpet.
