My Project

I am already excited and planning for my upcoming fourth grade students in the new school year. I work at a title 1 school, and school supplies are a necessity. This will help us start the school year successfully. I would love to have this comfy and cozy couch for my students to enjoy themselves as they do partner learning throughout the day. I’m sure it will be a hit in my classroom with your help. My students love flexible seating where they can move around the room and not be stuck learning at their desk all day long. The pillows give added comfort and have inspirational quotes to encourage their learning. Thank you in advance for your help with this project, I know I would appreciate it and my students would absolutely go crazy for this cozy and comfy learning environment.
