We are the Penguins! We are in desperate need of a circle time carpet; unfortunately our old carpet was damaged in a raw sewage leak from our ceiling. We use our carpet for whole groups activities, read aloud, transitions, opening school and closing meeting. So it would be totally awesome to have a new carpet. We currently have very little Dramatic Play furniture and the children truly enjoy using their imagination and having meaningful conversations with their peers while cooking and cleaning. The furniture would be a wonderful addition to our classroom. The children will love an easel to paint beautiful pictures and just be their creative selves. My students are unique because each child has a different personality, skills and talents. They see, think and wonder about everything. They are eager to learn about the world around them and as an educator I enjoy and absolutely love that about them. What more can I say? The Penguins Rock!
