My Project

Students are going to use these different items throughout the classroom. First the classroom chart stand will be beneficial to all students while they are learning on the carpet, or even during our center time when they will be able to make words on their own with the chart stand. Second, the Bean Bag will be used in our space where students need a moment to take a break from the classroom. It will give them comfort in a space, and will be able to come back to the classroom.Last, the stools those are for the teacher table it gives them something different to sit in while at the teacher table when learning.

All of these classroom items will be beneficial for all students to give them the comfort in their learning.
