My Project

My students do alot of learning at the carpet. Having comfortable seating options for them will enhance their learning. They will look forward to being on the carpet for lessons. Students will be more motivated to be on the carpet for learning.

My students love to do independent reading.

Having cozy and comfortable seating will make reading fun for them and give them a comfortable space to read. Comfortable seating will add to their social emotional well being.

Finally, having these beanbag chairs will allow my students to use these chairs in different areas of the classroom. If someone wants to read in a corner they can move the chair to a corner.
