My Project

In a classroom that is used for Kindergarten through eighth grade, seating that fits everyone can be a little tricky. Early education music classes focus on music through movement. Because of this, it is way better for students to sit on a carpet rather than the risers they currently are sitting on.

This rug would allow room for more students to sit on the floor in grades k-3, and also allow for older kids to sit in stacked chairs that can move.

This rug will allow for students to become familiar with the keyboard, and it's just fun!
