My Project

I’m requesting a beautiful Schoolgirl Style "This is My Happy Place" rug to transform our gathering space into a warm, inviting area where learning and community come to life. A cozy, colorful rug will anchor our classroom, creating a dedicated spot for whole-group lessons, read-alouds, morning meetings, and collaborative activities.

The cheerful design and positive message will remind my students that they belong, and our classroom is a happy place for everyone.

This rug will provide comfort during floor activities and give a sense of structure and belonging — essential for young learners to feel safe and engaged.
