Kindergarten Nap Time

Help me give my students sleep mats for their much-needed break time each day.

My Project

The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to succeed in school and to do that they need to have all their basic needs met. We take a nap or break time each day because we are on a 4-day school week so the school day is very long for the kindergarteners. This will enhance the environment not only in the classroom but the student's overall health and wellness.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them the rest that they need to finish up the school day strong.

These will be extremely beneficial for some students who just need to take a break to reset their thoughts or wiggles. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor mats will allow for each student to have their own mat in the area. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
