My Students Need a Space to Learn!

Help me give my students a carpet to sit on while they learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. D.'s classroom raised $342

My Project

My school is a place where students from diverse backgrounds are able to come together and share their experiences. Our school focuses on building a community of learners and supporting children to develop socially and emotionally, as well as academically. School is a place for them to learn and socialize. Sometimes desks are not the best place to do that.

Our library doesn't have carpet in our learning area and sitting on the floor is not the best for learning; having a designated rug will give them the space to learn!

During whole class lessons, they can sit on a particular colored circle, giving them their own space and organization. This will be fantastic when they turn to a partner & share their ideas. It will also give them somewhere comfortable to read.
