Samantha’s Learning Space

Help me give my students the best start possible with new books and a new carpet!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cain's classroom raised $691

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a first time educator, I’m looking forward to using this carpet to get to know my students better. This space will allow us to learn and grow together throughout the year. I imagine this area to be a place where we read the requested books, have open conversations, and get to know one another.

I want to provide my students the best leg up possible so that each can meet their individual learning goals.

Allowing students different non-desk spaces to learn will help them to move their bodies and be ready to take on new ideas and information.
