My Students Need a New Comfortable Place to Learn

Help me give my students a new place to meet to learn new things.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burton's classroom raised $902

My Project

My students are like my own children and when teaching they need to be comfortable (just like everyone else). They enjoy learning but being on a very thin carpet that they sit on can be hard to learn because they are not comfortable. I have morning meeting which consists of letters, math, and social interaction. I would love for my children to enjoy being on a new plush carpet. My children are special needs and have sensory issues and the more comfortable they are, the better they pay attention and learn. They would love to have a new place to learn. Also, the manipulatives will help with their fine motor skills and math skills that will help them strengthen their knowledge.
