My Project

I've been a teacher for over 16 years and one thing is for sure, one of our favorite places to learn is on the carpet! A comfy carpet allows students to spread out and learn!

My classroom is in need of a new carpet that will allow students to find a place quickly and that is big enough for Kindergarteners to spread out.

Having a new carpet will allow my students to learn and create memories their entire Kindergarten year!

Thank you for helping my students and classroom be successful! We are thankful for your support!
