My Project

I am fortunate to work with an incredible group of diverse learners, each with unique abilities, challenges, and strengths. In our inclusive classroom, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where every student feels safe and valued.

Classroom carpets will not only provide a comfortable space for group activities, independent work, and read-aloud sessions, but they will also help absorb noise, reducing echoes and distractions in our room.

This change will create a quieter and more focused environment, particularly important for students with special needs, including ADHD, autism, and hearing impairments.

Your support will allow us to purchase soft, durable carpets to define learning areas and create cozy, sound-dampened spaces for all students to thrive.
