My Project

My students are wonderful 3rd graders that come into the classroom with energy and excitement each day. They love learning and living together in our class family. I teach in an urban school with students from a wide range of backgrounds.

We spend time greeting one another, singing, and learning up front on the floor.

It would be wonderful if those little bums could have a carpet to sit on! I'd love to get them this carpet to make our space more comfy and homey while they are learning and playing together this year.
