Quiet on the Carpet!

Help me give my students a new classroom rug with ample room to fit 20 four and five-year-old students, and tablets to build our computer work and reinforce daily activities.

My Project

I have a wonderful VPK classroom of four and five-year-olds, some of whom have some sort of disability. While we tend to work together well, we do need a bigger rug for our carpet time! Right now we have one that doesn’t fit our circle time needs. All of my amazing students would like to sit on the rug comfortably and not squished together.

We would also benefit greatly from the use of the tablets I have included in the project.

Right now, I have one laptop we use for testing and 1 tablet we can share with all 20 kids. Having the 6 tablets would allow me to set up a technology center. In Florida, our VPK testing is now done online, so having the tablets to practice their technology skills throughout the year would be the biggest help!
