Rug Time! All Children Need Their own Space

My students need a letter carpet so that they don't have to sit on the bare floor and it'll help them learn their alphabet.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Connie's classroom raised $601

This project is fully funded

We are an amazing group of first grade children in a small inner city school with limited resources.

Due to the size of our class, we spend a great deal of time on the floor. To be close to each other yet have our own space we would love to be able to sit on an engaging and colorful educational carpet.

Each child needs his own space and if we were able to have this rug for our class the children would be able to find a space for themselves using the squares on the rug as their "own" space.

Much of our learning is spent on the carpet and without one we will have to take turns on a small, old and dirty rug while others sit on the bare floor. Your help would ensure that we have a clean and exciting classroom with children sitting on an educational rug which we will learn on. I will teach them that there are those who care about our well-being and our learning environment. Thank you so much in advance!
