My Project

A classroom should be a comfortable place where minds can grow! Please help me give students a carpet for their classroom! As we study world communities, this visual of the continents and oceans helps students understand how big our world is, especially those who have never left their hometown!

Students love collaborating together in places other than their desk.

The carpet allows students a comfortable place to work, play and learn. This carpet will help students build their expanding geographical skills and also provide a comfortable work space to be used across subject areas. Thank you for your support!
