    Thank you to everyone that donated to fund my project. My project has now been fully funded and the items requested will be purchased. I look forward to utilizing these items in my classroom. These tools will help my students grow in both math and literacy.

    My students and I greatly appreciate your generosity.”

  • Colorful Carpet for Success

    Funded Nov 16, 2019

    This carpet is an asset to my classroom. My students were so excited when the carpet arrived. Everyone wanted to pick a spot to sit. They all want to sit on it and are so diligent in keeping it clean (which can be difficult in a kindergarten classroom).

    This carpet has given each child a space to sit without invading others' personal space. They sit on a shape and they stay there throughout the lesson. Before they would fidget or move around the floor without having a designated area to sit in. It has also really helped with my more active students to have boundaries in place during whole group activities.

    My students love when I call them to get in line using the shape names or colors. Students that did not know their shapes can now name them and they tell other students to get in line when their shape is called.

    This has been a positive addition to my classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Martello

Currently I have no carpet for my circle time and whole group activities. Having a set "space" for each child will help aid in the classroom's structure and routine. Many of my students have difficulty maintaining focus and not wondering into others' personal space during carpet activities. This carpet will give the students the structure that they need to succeed. Having a space to sit and listen to stories and interact during whole group activities will help students maintain focus throughout their lessons. They will be able to learn with fewer distractions. I like that this carpet incorporates colors and shapes that will aid in my students learning.
