My Project

I'm requesting a carpet for my Kindergarten classroom. We currently spend a lot of instructional time on the floor and the students have to sit on the cold tile floor.

Having a carpet would make things just a little more comfortable for my Kindergartners.

When they are comfortable it's easier to engage them and complete our lesson.

The Pom Poms are for our cheerleading club that is made up of kindergarten and first graders. They are so excited about this club and the only thing we are missing are poms.
