My Project

My goal is to create a warm and inviting space in our classroom where students feel comfortable, focused, and excited to learn. These rugs and bean bag chairs will transform a small corner of our room into a cozy reading and collaboration area, giving students a flexible seating option that supports different learning styles. The bean bags will provide comfortable seating for independent reading, partner discussions, and small group work, while the rug will add warmth, reduce noise, and create a defined space that feels safe and welcoming.

With these additions, our classroom will become a place where students can relax, engage, and thrive academically and socially.
