My Students

It's morning meeting time and the kindergarten children can't find their spot on the floor.

I have 20 students in my morning class in one building.

There are 11 boys and 9 girls. My afternoon class in another building across town has 13 girls and 7 boys. All of the children are enthusiastic learners and can't wait to come to school each day.

My Project

This cozy carpet will bring color and excitement to our morning meetings. We meet by the easel each morning and go over the days events, read big books like I have requested, and sing a few songs. Now each child will have a letter of the alphabet to sit on. Not only will they be learning their alphabet, they will be organized!

The rug will make a big difference in the organization and learning environment in my classroom.

Our cozy carpet will bring the alphabet letters to life! We can't wait to find the first letter of our name and sit on it!
