Our new classroom rug has already become a cozy gathering spot where students come together for learning, sharing, and building community. The author chair has created excitement in the young authors. Students now want to share their writing! The headphones have made a huge impact on the amount of noise and the level of concentration students can give to their independent learning. They are no longer as easily distracted by their peers. The wagon has allowed for independence to thrive among my students and provides them with opportunities to be :in charge\" of equipment which in turn has the students taking better care of the equipment.\r\n\r\nEach of these items helped create a more welcoming, engaging, and supportive classroom environment.
