We're not in Indianapolis anymore!

My project needs a Rain Forest Rug - a fun, exciting meeting place to discuss community and classroom issues.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Poynter's classroom raised $515

This project is fully funded

We're in a beautiful rain forest! This year I am going to have 26 inner-city boys in my second grade class. I want to show these boys that we live in an amazing, beautiful world. We have built our Kapok tree, made vines, and bought the poisonous tree frogs! The only thing we need is a meeting place for our classroom community. This rug would be a wonderful addition to the classroom. Please help me show these boys that what we do now, and who we become, will affect the future of our entire world.
