My Project

Please help me provide a better classroom experience and environment by helping me raise the funding for a new classroom rug! Our current classroom rug has been through multiple teachers and rooms. It is stained and smelly. The classroom rug is where my students and I are most of the time during the school day, whether it be classroom read alouds, whole group instruction, or small group centers. My students love coming to the carpet for anything. A new rug would make my room more inviting and welcoming for my incoming students!!!
