My Project

Having a carpet and pillows in the classroom provides a comfortable and inviting space for students to come together and build a stronger classroom community. By gathering on the carpet, students can engage in discussions, share personal stories, and practice empathy towards their peers. This enables students to connect with one another on a deeper level, fostering a sense of unity and support within the classroom. Ultimately, the presence of a carpet and pillows helps create a safe and welcoming environment where students can strengthen their relationships and cultivate a positive classroom community.
