It has long been said that people eat with their eyes first. When something looks good, there will be great excitement to taste it. Wouldn't you agree that the same can be said for learning? When a classroom looks nice, kids will be motivated to learn. I believe that all students deserve an education in a classroom that is clean, comfortable, and inviting. While I have done my best to create walls that are both academically rich and visually appealing, I'm stuck when it comes to my floor. Anybody who's spent time in a first grade classroom knows that the floor is very important! Sitting in desks all day long is really not an option. My super stars need to be up. They need to move!! We spend a great deal of time on the floor. Unfortunately, that time is spent on hard, tan tile. It's dreary. It's montone. It's uncomfortable. I'd LOVE to give them a bright, colorful, comfortable carpet where they can stretch out and work with friends to build a solid academic foundation that will grow throughout their education.
