This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I teach in a special education building serving children with autism. I have students in grades 1 - 3. We depend a lot on the use of visuals in the classroom to help the children be successful in their day.
Whether the children are singing songs, relaxing with toys, listening to a story, much of our school day is spent on the tile floor, a place that unfortunately lacks the necessary boundaries to help keep my students focused on the lesson. The students are always moving into each others personal space.
My classroom needs a colorful carpet to provide the needed boundaries to help each child be attentive and feel secure. Providing each child with a special spot to sit will also help my class transition quickly from one activity to the next, making the most of our precious learning time.
With your help, you will make our circle time a fun place to come to. Your help will ensure a comfortable area for my students to learn together. You will make it possible for group activities to become more rewarding, safe and fun!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
