My Project

Our classroom is very special to us. It's our home away from home.

Lately, our shelves have been falling apart and the floor is very cold.

The students have noticed that the bookshelves are falling into pieces and are no longer safe to use. They also often sit on cold floors to copy things from the Smart Board or if they want to look through the buckets in the library.

New stronger well made shelves will replace the ones that are falling apart and should last several years. I would like to use the rugs to help the students to feel more comfortable while copying or working in small groups on the floor and I want them to fully enjoy the library.
