Mr. Yao’s Lunar New Year Wish

My Project

I've been wanting to get a new rug for my classroom for a long time now because our current rug is pretty worn out. Every day our mornings start with a meeting on the carpet where students sit together, go through our calendar routine and talk about the weather. We also do group activities on the carpet. I can say it is the center of my classroom and students spend a lot of time on it.

So as the Chinese New Year is approaching, I would like to make a wish here, and I hope that those who are enthusiastic about donating can help my students get a brand new and beautiful carpet.

I know all my students will be very grateful for your help. May my dreams come true. Thanks!
