My Project

My school was closed for renovations due to a severe mold situation. All materials were discarded.

My self-contained Sped class need a rug for our circle time.

My students have severe Autism and need routine and stability. They are accustomed to sitting on a rug and not a bare floor. They have been moved from different locations 3 times and we are now in an office building which is an unfamiliar school setting This rug will help them maintain some familiarity for our morning routine that promotes skills we are working on. Thank you in advance for your help.
