My Project

The rug and chair will allow me to create a space in our room for students to gather. They'll be able to collaborate with each other as they are able to stretch out and get comfortable.

The chair will give me a special place for our speaker to sit and address their peers during the sharing of their learning.

I'll be able to utilize the chair for read alouds as well. Overall this project will allow us to create a space that will make our room feel like a home away from home.
