Needed: Rugs to Give My Students Better Seating Options

Help me give my students rugs to create a warm & inviting seating area for my kindergarteners. The floors can be unforgiving, and by introducing a soft, cozy rug, we can enhance their comfort and engagement during activities.

My Project

As I prepare to teach kindergarten, I've realized that the current seating arrangement—having the children sit on the hard, cold floor—is far from ideal. To create a more inviting and comfortable learning environment, I am looking for some rugs to place on the floor. These additions would not only enhance their comfort during instruction but also foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages engagement and learning. We also need pencils, chart tablets, cardstock, dry erase markers, and storage sacks to enhance our learning.

Your support in providing these rugs would make a significant difference in the students' experience.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you generous offerings.
