My Project

I would love a bean bag chair for our library. They really enjoy beanbag chairs to sit on. I remember having one when I was young and I loved it. I want them to make memories and be excited to come to school daily. I think the beanbag would be just such a great addition to our space. The letter recognition could be used for not only small group but also used in the sensory table, writing area, library and more. There are so many new things that we can do with these materials.
