A Comfy Spot for Learning

Help me give my students a cozy spot to do their best work. With bean bags and soft carpets, my students will enjoy settling in and exploring whatever topic we are learning about.

My Project

This year, I have an amazing group that is like a family. We celebrate each other's mistakes as much as we do getting correct answers because there are some great lessons in the mistakes that we make. I will have the same group next year with some students added on and we would like to have a class that feels more like home than school.

My students learn best working with partners and small groups and we would like to utilize every space to help support their learning.

We already have a few flexible seating areas in the class that the students love to use, but with more students coming, those areas need to be expanded.
