My Dream Circle Time Rug!

Help me give my students a carpet/ circle time rug. This rug will allow my little students to have assigned places to sit with enough space for their little bodies.

My Project

If my project is fully funded, I will have a comfortable place for my little friends to sit at circle time for years to come. They will have enough space for their little bodies and they can learn their letters at the same time. I have been teaching for 12 years and have always wanted this rug. I usually use duct tape, which the children pick apart. My students range from 3-5. They are learning self regulation and this rug will help them control their own space. This rug provides just the right amount of space for each student.
