Making Us a Family!

Help me give my students a new rug to enjoy circle time on and a few other items for our class. Our rug we have now is not in the best shape and has duct tape on it.

My Project

My project is based on the heart of the classroom, its what makes our classroom feel like a home. We come together at this location as a classroom family throughout our school day. I'm asking for two different items for this location a rug and a white board. The rug will allow our students to be comfortable and to spread out. Our rug we have now is not in the greatest shape and who wouldn't want to do a lesson on a nice new rug instead of a table and chair. The second item I'm asking for this location is the white board. We currently have no white board or chalk board that we could use during a circle time. We would love to add a white board into a circle time space to be able to have a write down different stuff during circle time for our students.

My Class is also in need of a doll house.

All children learn through play so why not be able to offer them a house where they can stage their stories. The children will be able to act out stories together, learn household vocabulary, and plan out rooms. The best part though is having fun while learning.

Please help our classroom it would mean so much to us.
