My Project

Every day my students come into their Social Studies classroom eager to learn about the world around them! They come in and sit at desks and chairs, as well as a couch, but I would love my students to have a carpeted corner of the room to accommodate students who just want a different way to learn about the world around.

This carpet of the world and bean bag chairs will help them feel comfortable as they learn!

They can work right on the ground in this comfortable corner of the room and sit on beanbags while working. Thanks for helping to bring this project to life for my students!

Ms. Maria R. Avery will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 12.
