Snug as a Bug in a Rug

Help me give my students a rug to bring comfort our classroom. Hard floors can be uncomfortable, so I would like to create a rugged area for students to sit!

My Project

Help give access to a comfortable sitting area for my students. Being in a science room, we have hard tile floors. Although this is great for those messy lab sessions with bursting baking soda volcanoes, it is not the best for when we move around the room.

Being able to have a comfortable space with an area rug will allow for my students to have a pleasant space to work, and bring a “homey” feel to our classroom.

I would like to create a corner space where students will have a carpeted rug area to sit and work independently or in groups, without having to sit on the cold tile floor.

Thank you in advance for your support!
