Comfort in the Classroom

Help me give my students a rug for the classroom library area so they have a comfy place to sit and read books and chair pockets to hold their materials so their tables can stay clear for work.

My Project

My second graders are at the age where they are learning to really read and become responsible organized students. I want to encourage these skills by giving them the tools that will motivate them.

A rug can help define different learning areas within the classroom, helping students understand the purpose and use of different spaces in the classroom.

A rug can help create a welcoming and visually appealing environment for students, which can help improve their mood and motivation to learn.

Chair pockets offer kids a method of organizing their school materials. With their materials close at hand, their table space remains open for spreading out their work tools and avoids them crowding other students' workspace.

I hope you will see how these tools will help create a comfortable and effective learning environment for students.
