My Project

My students spend a lot of time sitting on the carpet at circle time. They deserve to be comfortable while sitting.

This is their first school experience and the more welcome I can make them feel the more comfortable they will feel and will be eager to participate in class.

This carpet will make them feel at home and comfortable at the same time.

Being able to share this space with their friends will give them the opportunity to work together during center time to build and grow ideas. Thank you in advance.
