Mrs. McQueary from Lexington KY is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

New Carpet for Family Meeting

Help me give my students a new circle time rug! This would give them a nice place to sit for large group where we do most of our learning—calendar, storytime, and music and movement.

My Students

My students range from 3-5 years old and are able to qualify for our preschool by either having a developmental delay or being low income. This program gives children from all cultures, areas, abilities and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. My energetic preschoolers enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore. They love being exposed to so many different experiences and opportunities and gleam with pride and excitement at learning new skills. They are an amazing group of kids!

My Project

A lot of learning happens at our family meeting every day. We go over our schedule for the day, read stories, do music and movement, and do a lot of large group activities at our family meeting. Our current carpet/rug that we use makes it hard for us all to meet together and a larger rug would help give us a better area to meet and learn together. Also, we loved this rug because it wasn’t as bright or overwhelming for several of our special needs students with sensory issues. This rug would give us a cozy area with defined areas for students still learning about personal spaces to sit and learn together.
