Rug Time Ready: Creating a Cozy Kindergarten Space

Help me give my students a larger rug we can all fit on!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amirato's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a kindergarten teacher seeking your support to fund a classroom rug that will transform our learning space.

This rug will be the heart of our classroom, providing a cozy spot for morning meetings, story time, circle time, and group activities.

It will also offer a comfortable area for individual quiet time, fostering a love for reading and a sense of community among my young students. Your generous donation will help create a warm and inviting environment where my kindergarteners can learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for considering our project and for making a difference in the lives of these young learners.
