My Project

Please consider donating to help my class have the best whole group experience possible. a carpet that could fit our entire group will benefit all students and make them feel included and welcome in our learning. No one will be missing out and sitting on the floor.

Flexible seating options, like the floor cushions, will help students be able to work around the room while still feeling comfortable and not having to sit on the cold hard floor.

Currently, I have no carpet and no sit spots on the floor and we are forced to stay in our desk, which makes the lessons less engaging and feel less connected as a class. Having a more practical whole group area will help them stay focused and be able to move around and sit with friends they don’t normally talk to. It will provide less distractions and more friendships. Along with more spaces to work besides their desks.
