The Quiet Place!

Help me give my students an enjoyable place to read and do small group instruction.

My Project

Lights! Camera! Action! My students absolutely love reading, having small group instruction on the carpet, or just doing their work in a quiet workspace on the floor but, we are in need of new beanbags, pillows, and carpet to brighten up space.

This also gives my students a place to go when they need to have a timeout to gather themselves from the anxiety and frustration that they may encounter because their social-emotional well-being is important too.

My classroom is full of diverse students and I want to also give them a diverse way of learning by allowing them to have the feeling of home.
