Help me give my students comfortable
and flexible seating for the floor and different learning areas. Help their calming corner be soft and comforting with pillows. Help their library area feel desirable with rugs.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, students have shown to need more comfort and ways of coping. Also notable is the need for additional time and focus on reading skills. My project includes a variety of soft seating options for the floor so that students can be happy in small groups together while they are reading and working on spelling and grammar. Two rugs will also increase their comfort and sense that staying in a library area and reading is a desirable thing to do. I think the more they read, the faster they'll spring back from the pandemic. To help with coping, this project adds a comfortable chair and some pillows that are soft and the print on them is educational as part of our calming corner. Pillows to hug go a long way towards recovering more quickly. I also have small things like a second trash can for a classroom job, glue for a few crafts, and a plush toy for cheeriness. Everything in my project is designed to help the students be happier and engaged for longer in their studies, or recover from their emotional challenges quicker.
More than half of students from low‑income households
