My Project

Kindergarten students love to move around the room to do their work and love to be in warm, cozy, and inviting environments. Our floor is tile, so moving around the room to read, do centers and to have laptop time can be uncomfortable. I have requested 2 rugs, 4 cozy floor chairs, and pillow covers for pillows that I already have. These materials would create 2 inviting areas in my classroom.

Full-day kindergarten can be a long day and I know that the kids will absolutely love having these areas to get away from their tables for a bit and do some work.

Being comfortable in your environment makes for more productive and happy children. Thank you so much for considering our class for your donation, we appreciate it so much!
