My Project

I am moving to kindergarten and I am looking for a front of the room rug for our classroom. This rug will help students with seating at the front of the class and give a homey feel to our classroom.

This would help students know where to sit at the carpet and help them with their alphabet knowledge.

Kinder would also be in need of a vacuum to help with our clean up time and keeping our rug nice and make it last a long time. Kindergarten is a foundational year for students, it is my hope to make it the best first school experience.
