The students were very excited to see our new stools and rug at the start of the school year. \r\n\r\nEach day when the students come into my room, they choose their stool. They rotate between the different colors and different types of stools. The wobbly stools are definitely a kid-favorite! They enjoy being able to move a bit more in the stools than they could in traditional chairs. They have also been a space saver and allowed us to create a new layout for the room. \r\n\r\nThe smiley face rug is in a cozy spot by the windows, surrounded by books and stuffed animals. The students LOVE when they finish their work and are allowed time to read on the rug. Without the rug, we wouldn't be able to have our \"book nook\" so we all really appreciate your help. \r\n\r\nThank you again for contributing to my project.
