My Project
I have the privilege of looping with my 3rd grade class to 4th grade this year! It is only my second year teaching and after my first year I realized how important it is to have a calming space in my room for my many students that need breaks from the class during the day. The rug, beanbag, lamp and fidget accessories will help my students have a space in the room that is special and calming during their breaks. The area rug will also provide a separate work space for small groups which some students prefer and work well in.
