My Project

The carpet area is where we meet every day to read books, learn and build with blocks. Our students are very curious and they love to learn. They enjoy gathering on the carpet to listen to the stories and share their ideas with each other.

A big carpet allows enough comfortable room for each child in the classroom to use.

The carpet also provides a welcoming environment for students, to build with the blocks, to be more creative, and to share the space with ease. This permits them to be more relaxed and settled within the classroom. The carpet is where the student starts their day with a morning meeting and end their day with a story.

Thank you!
