Brightening Our Classroom: Smiley Face Carpet

Help me give my students a new fresh rug to brighten up our classroom. My old rug is close to 15 years old and has had a lot of love.

My Project

Our first-grade classroom is in need of a new, cheerful carpet that will make learning fun and inviting for our young students. We are requesting funding for a smiley face-themed carpet that will serve as a central gathering space for the children to sit, learn, and engage in group activities. This new carpet will not only brighten the classroom but also create a warm, welcoming environment where students can feel comfortable and excited to learn.

The smiley face design will foster positivity and promote a sense of joy and community in the classroom.

It will serve as a visual cue for children to gather, focus, and participate in activities with enthusiasm. Additionally, the soft, colorful carpet will offer a comfortable space for reading, interactive lessons, and cooperative play.
