My Project

My students love coming together on the carpet each day to share what is going on in our lives and what we are learning. Our rug has gotten to where we can no longer meet due to wear and tear.

A new classroom rug will ensure we can continue to meet together in a more intimate way and share as a class family.

The cool/calm colors of this aquatic rug will ensure not only a clean and fun environment but also a ten year warranty that should allow it to be used for many years to come.
