My Project

The carpet will provide a comfortable area for students to sit and engage in different learning activities throughout the day. This carpet will help students stay focused on the academic content while on the carpet, instead of worrying about where their bodies should be on the carpet. The carpet will be essential for our classroom because we meet on the carpet for lessons every day.

A few students are left without a carpet space due to the smaller size of the carpet.

Our class would love a carpet that fits everyone comfortably. This would also allow for more stations on the carpet, maximizing learning opportunities for the students.
