The student love to curl up with a good book and often choose to sit on the floor. They currently use their jackets or coats to sit on. Our classroom floor is cool and hard. I would love to be able to create a welcoming, comfortable reading area for my kids. This rug is the perfect beginning to creating this space in our classroom. The rug is colorful and bright. This will stand out and invite them in. I hope it encourages them to read together as well as ensures they grow socially and academically. Thank you so much for your time and interest in our project!
