My Project

The floors in our school are all tile. The kids often fight over space on our main classroom rug to sit and play or read on. They all crowd up on the rug and try to find space.

It would be so great to have an extra carpet in our classroom for the kids to use.

They would love to be able to have time away from their desks to complete workshop games and cozy up with a book.

This blue rug will go perfectly in our room and will provide the comfortable space that we do desperately need!
