My Project

Hello! I am all about creating a safe and comfortable environment for my students to learn in. I do not make them stay in their seats. I like for them to have comfortable cushions and comfortable areas to learn. The rug, floor cushions, and floor seats will ensure my students are learning and comfortable while doing so. Being in a classroom that's comfortable makes learning so much easier. It allows students to want to be in the class. Giving students seat cushions makes it easier for them to stay seated and focused while learning. If you had to stay in a room for about 7 hours a day wouldn't you want to be comfortable?
